Questioning Gender: A Sociological Exploration

About this book

Questioning Gender: A Sociological Exploration serves as a point-of-departure for productive conversations and questions about gender and as a resource for exploring answers to many of those questions. Rather than providing definitive answers this book takes a global approach and aims to challenge students preconceptions about gender and to demonstrate how gender as a system creates and reinforces inequality. Author Robyn Ryle uses both historical and cross-cultural approaches to help students understand the socially constructed nature of gender. With a focus on contemporary topics including the #MeToo movement sexual harassment in the workplace and the gender wage gap students will be prompted to think critically about past present and future gender-related issues. Included with this title: The password-protected Instructor Resource Site (formally known as SAGE Edge) offers access to all text-specific resources including a test bank and editable chapter-specific PowerPoint slides.
