What is Feminist Accountability?
We propose the concept of (more visible)feminist accountabilityas a way to work with and against, and to embrace, feelings of feminist fraudulence. To illustrate feeling like a feminist fraud and feminist accountability, and to explore how they are present in feminist family scholarship, we draw on our research experiences.

Does being raised in a physically violent home predict adult intimate partner violence?
Our findings reveal that the impact of childhood experiences of violence is a complex phenomenon, which compels us to move beyond a linear examination of the effect of family-of-origin violence and male-to-female intimate partner violence (IPV).

Book Review Alison J.Chrisler: Humanizing Research
Alison J. Chrisler writes an excellent review of thebook, Humanizing Research: Decolonizing Qualitative Inquiry With Youth and Communities,highlighting the difficulties of conducting research with vulnerable participants. She write, "Far too often, researchers "take" the lived experiences of participants with little concern about what the individuals in their studies will receive in return" (Chrisler, 2015, p. 333). This lack of attention given to the participant's well-being becomes increasingly problematic as many studies focus on intrusive topics of marginalized groups.
