TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Researching domestic violence in same-sex relationships--a feminist epistemological approach to survey development JO - Journal of lesbian studies A1 - Hester, Marianne A1 - Donovan, Catherine SP - 161 EP - 173 VL - 13 IS - 2 N2 - The article draws on recently completed research by the authors, involving a detailed study of love and intimate partner violence in same-sex and heterosexual relationships (funded by the ESRC, award RES-000-23-0650). The research, hitherto the most detailed study of its kind in the United Kingdom, included a national same-sex community survey (n = 800) plus four focus groups and interviews with 67 individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, queer, bisexual, transgender, or heterosexual. The article discusses in particular the development of the same-sex community survey, focusing on the epistemological and methodological implications of using a feminist approach.
