Abstract
This paper explores the application of two theoretical approaches within Library and Information Science (LIS) literature, and critically reviews them for inclusion within a proposed PhD study. The two approaches are Women’s Ways of Knowing, a model of women’s epistemological development; and intersectional feminism, an inclusive and holistic approach to feminist research. The paper outlines both concepts, presents a critical literature review of their application in LIS research, and identifies their potential future use both within the proposed PhD study, and within LIS research more broadly.
