      ab: The article presents information about a fifteen-week seminar on feminist epistemology and methodology at a university-based humanities research center. The authors were participants in the seminar. They say that they had approached the seminar with expectations of refining their ideas about feminist epistemology and methodology but, to their disappointment, they instead began to question their place within women's studies. In the critique the authors have pointed to the racial dynamics that they believe foreclosed certain types of discussion. They are not saying that their fellow participants were raging racists foaming at the mouth with continuous racial epithets. Nor are they implying that racial difference was the only dimension dealt with inadequately. The seminar participants' refusal to address racial difference contributed to racist, exclusionary and silencing practices. The authors' aim was to examine some of the many and diverse practices of knowledge production that currently constitute "feminist" research.
