TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Liberating Insights from a Cross-cultural Sexuality Study About Women JO - American behavioral scientist A1 - Benkert, Holly SP - 1197 EP - 1207 VL - 45 IS - 8 N2 - In this article, the author reflects on some of the difficulties encountered when conducting cross-cultural qualitative research. The article begins with a description of a focus group study that researched how feminist women define sexual liberation. The author then examines some of the issues inherent when including participants from different countries, races, ages, and sexual orientation. The findings point to insights about research issues including language, research methods, age, race, sexuality, traditional practices, and cultural norms. Lastly, the author encourages dialogue as a way to address issues of difference and increase collective consciousness.
