Identities, Genders, and Cultures offers scholarly research related
to work-life balance in today's environment, with a particular

is experienced differently through the intersections of sex, age,
gender, socioeconomic status, and race. Recommended for scholars of

How far have we really progressed toward gender equality in the
United States? The answer is, "not far enough." This engaging and
accessible work, aimed at students studying gender and social
inequality, provides new insight into the uneven and stalled nature
of the gender revolution in the twenty-first century. Honing in on
key institutions-the family, higher education, the workplace,
religion, the military, and sports-key scholars in the field look
at why gender inequality persists. All contributions are rooted in
new and original research and introductory and concluding essays
provide a broad overview for students and others new to the field.
The volume also explores how to address current inequities through
political action, research initiatives, social mobilization, and
policy changes. Conceived of as a book for gender and society
classes with a mix of exciting, accessible, pointed pieces, Gender
in the Twenty-First Century is an ideal book for students and
scholars alike.

Methods of Research on Human Development and Families is an
introduction to quantitative and qualitative research methods that
teaches students how to be intelligent and critical consumers of
research on families. This new book has been adapted from the
author team's previous SAGE text, Methods of Family Research, and
includes applications and examples from both family science and
human development research. With a focus on interpreting and
understanding research techniques rather than doing research, this
text illustrates how research on families is conducted and helps
students gain the competence and confidence to effectively read,
interpret, and critique published research reports.
