Thoroughly updated in this second edition, Introduction to Gender
offers an interdisciplinary approach to the main themes and debates
in gender studies. This comprehensive and contemporary text
explores the idea of gender from the perspectives of history,
sociology, social policy, anthropology, psychology, politics,
pedagogy and geography and considers issues such as health and
illness, work, family, crime and violence, and culture and media.
Throughout the text, studies on masculinity are highlighted
alongside essential feminist work, producing an integrated
investigation of the field. Key features: A thematic structure
provides a clear exploration of each debate without losing sight of
the interconnections between disciplines. World in focus boxes and
international case studies offer a broad global perspective on
gender studies. In-text features and student exercises, including
Controversy, A critical look and Stop and think boxes, allow the
reader to engage in the debates and revise the material covered.
Hotlinks throughout the text make connections between chapters,
allowing the reader to follow the path of particular issues and
debates between topics and disciplines. New to the second edition:
A new chapter explores gender through the discipline of philosophy.
A new section on international relations brings this relevant topic
into focus. Current discussion on the language of gender across
Europe is brought in to Chapter 1. A focus on Europe and
Scandinavia as well as the UK gives the text a broader scope.
Examples are updated throughout to ensure the text is cutting-edge
and relevant. Introduction to Gender, second edition is highly
relevant to today's students across the social sciences and is an
essential introduction for students of sociology, women's studies
and men's studies.
