Het acroniem in de titel staat voor Qualitative Research in the Social Sciences in Europe. Euroqual is een programma van de European Science Foundation. Het loopt parallel aan het ESF-programma 'Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences' (QMSS). Het gaat hier om een zogenoemde Research Networking Program (RNP) van de European Science Foundation. Euroqual is een vijfjarig programma met een totaal budget van (momenteel) € 768.000. Dit 'momenteel' slaat op de financieringsstructuur van het programma. Aangezien de partners bijdragen aan het budget van een RNP, bepaalt het aantal partners de hoogte van het budget. Ten tijde van de eerste bijeenkomst van de stuurgroep was de ESF nog in onderhandeling met Frankrijk over deelname aan Euroqual. Het budget kan dus nog toenemen.

This book is a startling, controversial and original manifesto for a complete review of research methods and methodology in the social sciences and a must read for anyone involved in this area. Dat zegt de uitgever tenminste en er zit wel wat in.

The objective of this article is to show how issues concerning women in science and the problem of gendered science, often treated separately, are interconnected. To examine how research on women in science and research on gender and science relate to each other, some feminist epistemological perspectives, mainly feminist contextual empiricism, are used in order to show how the feminist philosophical conceptual framework may be useful for understanding the problems currently faced by women in science. After reflecting and elaborating on the very thesis of gendered science, the author analyses in more detail the concept of epistemic communities and the concept of trust as an epistemic factor. Through these concepts the author argues that philosophical/epistemological considerations are fruitful for studying the experience of individual women in science. Both of these interrelated concepts are considered highly relevant in the search for an epistemological framework facilitating the thematic study of women in science on a theoretical level and research on the current situation of women in the academic world in Slovakia.
