Gender in a Transitional Era addresses a range of issues relevant
in current gender and sexuality studies scholarship which span many
disciplines. The contributors prioritize the critical thinking that
continues to support the notion that we, as a society, still have a
ways to go toward full gender equality in all spheres of life. This
collection positions marginal voices at the center of complex
gender issues in today's society. Broad thematic topic areas
include parental identities, advice, and self-help; gender
performances and role expectations in media; interacting within
organizational and social spaces; and tensions and negotiations on
politics, health, and feminisms. Though there is still much work to
be done concerning an array of gender equality issues, scholars in
this collection interrogate a transitional era of gender in which
changes are evident, yet challenges persist.
This book discusses the role of television drama series on a global
scale, analyzing these dramas across the Americas, Europe, Asia,
Australia, and Africa. Contributors consider the role of television
dramas as economically valuable cultural products and with their
depictions of gender roles, sexualities, race, cultural values,
political systems, and religious beliefs as they analyze how these
programs allow us to indulge our innate desire to share human
narratives in a way that binds us together and encourages audiences
to persevere as a community on a global scale. Contributors also go
on to explore the role of television dramas as a medium that
indulges fantasies and escapism and reckons with reality as it
allows audiences to experience emotions of happiness, sorrow, fear,
and outrage in both realistic and fantastical scenarios.
Communication and the Work-Life Balancing Act: Intersections across
Identities, Genders, and Cultures offers scholarly research related
to work-life balance in today's environment, with a particular

chapters examine the choices, challenges, and gendered experiences
that women and men face as they navigate structures of work,
domestic duties, and childcare in search of balance. Underpinning
this text is the notion that work-life balance affects everyone but
is experienced differently through the intersections of sex, age,
gender, socioeconomic status, and race. Recommended for scholars of
communication, gender studies, organizational communication,
sociology, and family communication.
