A Woman Anthropologist in The Police: A Reflection about Gender and Power Relations in The Field

Abstract

Among the literature reflecting on the particularities of being a woman researching social spaces inhabited by men, it is common that gender approaches like flirting or making propositions are mostly addressed in sexual or romantic terms. This study seeks to offer a complementary reading, capable of considering gender approaches as inputs that play a fundamental role in the process of constructing and challenging individual identities and social relations in fieldwork.
