FemQuant was formed in 2017 following our first one-day conference focused on Feminist Approaches to Quantitative Social Science. Since then we have organised a number of events, including our monthly seminar series, and the organising collective has grown and become more international. The goal of our activities remains to bring together researchers who are using feminist theory and motivations in current quantitative, empirical research across the social sciences. We aim for the network to be a space and a community for researchers to discuss and debate the possibilities of a quantitative, feminist social science, and to learn from each other’s successes and difficulties in integrating feminist theory with quantitative methods. As an organising collective we would like to collect views from the wider network of what events and activities you find interesting and useful and in particular what else you would like to see. Your participation is entirely voluntary, you can choose not to answer any questions for any reason, and you can withdraw at any stage by closing your browser. Since the survey is anonymous, it will be impossible to withdraw data once you have submitted the survey. Only the FemQuant organising collective members will be able to view and analyse individual responses, including open text answers. The results of the survey will be used to inform the planning of FemQuant activities by the organising collective. We may share a summary of the results with the wider FemQuant network through the mailing list, on the website and on FemQuant social media. Any such communications will not include any potentially identifiable information, such as direct quotes from open text responses. To contact the organising collective, please email: femquant17@gmail.com
