More About This Textbook
Overview
Doing Gender in Media, Art and Culture is an introductory text for students specializing in gender studies. The truly interdisciplinary and intergenerational approach bridges the gap between humanities and the social sciences, and it showcases the academic and social context in which gender studies has evolved. Complex contemporary phenomena such as globalization, neo-liberalism and 'fundamentalism' are addressed, which stir up new questions relevant to the study of culture. This vibrant and wide-ranging collection of essays is essential reading for anyone in need of an accessible but sophisticated guide to the very latest issues and concepts within gender studies.
