This position piece addresses the decline of class as a mode of inquiry in Lesbian Studies and Postcolonial Studies. It argues that in spite of this decline, class continues to forcibly pervade all areas of our lives and, therefore, should be fundamental to the research praxis of these fields of study. It goes on to suggest that the intersections of these two disciplines are able to open up a space where questions regarding class and its global dimension in the twenty-first century can be addressed. It concludes by reflecting on the possibility of an ethical methodological approach to research.
这篇立场文章探讨了阶级作为女同性恋研究和后殖民研究中的一种探究模式的衰落。文章认为，尽管出现了这种衰落，但阶级仍继续强行渗透到我们生活的各个领域，因此，应该成为这些研究领域研究实践的基础。文章接着指出，这两个学科的交叉能够开辟一个空间，在这个空间里，可以探讨二十一世纪有关阶级及其全球维度的问题。文章最后反思了采用符合伦理的研究方法的可能性。
