How does Virginia Braun's work in feminist psychology integrate the concepts of subjectivity in research and discourse analysis?

Virginia Braun uses feminist psychology to show that research is not just about facts but also about the people who do the studying and who are studied, making subjectivity central to her work. She argues that researchers bring their own identities and experiences into the data, and that these personal lenses shape what questions are asked and how answers are interpreted. Braun applies discourse analysis to look at how language in interviews and texts reveals power patterns and how women’s voices are often framed, so she can uncover hidden biases. For example, she might analyze a series of therapy session transcripts to see how a therapist’s gendered language reinforces or challenges traditional gender roles, illustrating how subjectivity and discourse together shape feminist psychological insights.
