本研究採取女性主義立場論，以集體自傳民族誌的方法，闡述在國立臺灣大學公共衛生學院內部發起的性別讀書會，如何形構社群、進行微型抵抗並試圖重塑教研方法。集體自傳民族誌是帶有社會意涵的自我敘事過程，強調作者群共學共享之參與，適合用於匯集研究者／行動者的集體經驗，尋找相似與差異之處，進而與其深入地相處（deeply engaging）及討論，找出這些故事在敘事者的社會文化脈絡中的意義以建構行動計畫。原本是為撰寫《消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約》第四次國家報告影子報告的任務性質暫時聚會，意料之外延續擴大並成為學院中的「支持團體」，透過密集討論與交叉觀察，我們發現性別在公衛教學研究的場域中明顯缺席，經常被質疑研究的重要性、教學中充滿性別刻板印象與偏見及忽視多元性別等方式被排拒在外。情感在這個強調客觀、理性、績效的場域中被壓抑，讀書會成員一邊觀察揣摩以學習關於性別的隱藏知識（tacit knowledge），一邊在鑲嵌各種性別成分的權力結構中游移於做／不做性別研究之間。作為學院內的少數人，讀書會成員透過各種細節線索尋找同伴、認出彼此、確認安全空間，進而建立得以談論性別的社群，透過經驗分享培養言說的能力並賦權，在個人生活中或以集體之力採取行動。

Abstract ｜
This study demonstrates how collective autoethnography, as a self-narration process, is useful and suitable for action research in a participatory and collaborative manner. Researchers/actors look for the similarities and differences between their stories by thinking about and discussing these storytelling data in depth. The process enables us to explore the collective story’s meanings in the narrators’ socio-cultural context to construct an actionable plan. Initially, this study group was a series of mission-based events for drafting a shadow report (a critical assessment submitted by non-governmental organizations) regarding the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in Taiwan. Surprisingly, not only has the gathering continued to this day, but its membership, selection of texts, and the scope of discussion have also been expanded. More importantly, it has become a “support group” within the academic setting for many members. Through intensive discussions and triangulation among ourselves, we identify the marginality of “gender” in the knowledge system of public health, showing that women’s health is discussed only in the context of reproductive health, and the health concerns of sexual and gender minorities are egregiously omitted. Gender relations and the perspectives of women and sexual minorities are conspicuously absent in the field of public health, which, by definition, should attend to the “public”. This study adopts a feminist standpoint theory and explores the meanings of gender, our study group, and its significance in the College of Public Health. We ponder the reasons for gender to be regarded as irrelevant or unimportant in such an academic field and how we, as a collective, can formulate resistance on both the personal and societal levels and gradually legitimize gender studies in public health.
