This article is the result of a joint work between two research teams of the College of Social Sciences of Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina) which share a concern regarding research methodologies in Social Sciences from critical perspectives. The objective is to analyze our practices of intervention/research with gender perspective in an UBACyT project of the aforementioned institution as a case study. From a qualitative methodology, we combined instances of observation-participation, meetings to exchange ideas and experiences between the teams, and the delivery of a workshop. The results indicate that the methodological practices under study had a double dimension; namely: “internal”, which referred to the daily dynamics of group work, and the “external”, associated to the relation between those who research and their subjects of study. The conclusions highlight the central role of the loving and democratic cross-sectional logics, in relation to the two methodological dimensions, in line with feminist epistemologies.

Keywords : methodology; practices of intervention/research; feminist epistemologies.
