What term does Sandra Harding use for the strategy of starting research from the lives of marginalized groups to achieve a less biased view of reality?
Explanation
Harding reclaims the term 'objectivity' by proposing 'strong objectivity,' a method that begins with the perspectives of the marginalized. This contrasts with the 'weak objectivity' of traditional research that starts from the perspective of the powerful, which she argues is more biased.
