This timely and thought-provoking collection explores the ways in
which psychological science interacts with and addresses gender
across varied subdisciplines in the field, from a feminist
viewpoint. A particular aim of this volume is to move the
conversation of gender in psychology beyond a difference-only
paradigm. Veteran and emerging feminist scholars survey the
handling of sex and gender issues across psychology, and describe
how feminist perspectives and methodologies can and should be
applied to enhance the field itself, but also in the service of
social justice in the various cultures of corporations, academia,
and the global stage. Contributions span theoretical advances,
latest empirical findings, and real-world advocacy, with
instructive and illuminating first-person accounts detailing
challenges and rewards of feminist scholarship and practice in
psychology. Throughout the volume, chapters document a dynamic
field in its evolution from the traditional, two-dimensional study
of gender-based differences to concerted multidisciplinary
approaches, to cutting edge feminist theoretical and methodological
advances such as intersectionality to understand gender in context.
The volume is divided into three distinct sections. The first
covers current theory and research in psychological science that
considers gender beyond a difference-only paradigm. Then, leading
feminist scholars reflect upon their own experiences in their
respective subdisciplines. Finally, the third section explores
innovative best practices and applications for feminist
psychological science. Highlights of the coverage: * Beyond
difference: Gender as a quality of social settings. * Adventures in
feminist health psychology: Teaching about and conducting feminist
psychological science. * Mind the thigh gap? Bringing feminist
psychological science to the masses. * Feminist psychologists and
institutional change in universities. With its stimulating
compilation of theories, research, and applications, Feminist
Perspectives On Building A Better Psychological Science of Gender
is one of the most forward-thinking and innovative treatments of
the field in recent years. It is a significant and important text
for all psychologists, women's and gender studies specialists,
social science researchers, and all those interested in using
evidence-based psychological science to create a more just and
equitable world.
