In this article, the author invites everyone to join her as she follows Laurel Richardson's advice to use writing as a method of inquiry. To do so, she engages in a fictional conversation with Michel Foucault--later joined by actor-network theorist Michel Callon--in which she talks through and constructs understanding(s) of and from her research on the underrepresentation and marginalization of women in academic science. The author has chosen to talk through possible meanings with Foucault and Callon not only because of the applicability of their theorizing, but also because their work has inspired her to resist normative discourses in social research. By writing through meaning(s) in conversation--albeit fictitious--in this way, she hopes to discover new aspects of this topic and one's relationship to it. (Contains 38 notes.)
