Abstract: This article reviews the activist research strategy in social movements, thought from the perspective of feminist epistemology. It presents retrospective analyzes of the authors' own Activist Research experiences and puts them in the light of a new methodological framework: Feminist Activist Research (FAR). The paper starts from the proposal of the «situated knowledge» and places the emergence of the FAR at the confluence of the new global movements and the third wave of feminism. We conclude that the activist research experiences in which we have participated can be included in the FAR and suppose the most adequate approach from the social sciences to the subject social movement both epistemologically and methodologically, since they allow us to collect data and analysis that become as situated knowledge, academically relevant and socially useful.
