Feminism &Psychology, Ahead of Print.
Drawing from the experiences of researchers associated with feminist disability studies, this article reflects on care as an ethical foundation in the processes of academic knowledge production. In a qualitative study using a constructivist grounded theory approach, we analysed interviews and identified key points of reflection that reveal interactions aimed at building communities and alliances within and beyond academia. A model of thinking about care as an ethic oriented towards reshaping the relationships with participants in academic studies is advanced. In this context, certain feminist research practices are highlighted, aimed at redistributing power in these processes.
