That stubborn 'doing good?' - Question: Ethical/epistemological concerns in the study of NGOs

A practice approach to the professionalization of Latin American feminist NGOs is applied to the study of one NGO in Medellin, Colombia. Instead of asking whether such NGOs are 'doing good,' I suggest an approach emphasizing the political economic context and negotiated, constructed quality of women's lived experience of shifting NGO strategies: I explore ethical and epistemological difficulties with the 'doing good?' question.
