Description
Investigating Gender by Martha E. Thompson and Michael Armato is a key text for understanding social life through a feminist sociological perspective. This innovative book combines insights into gender with an approach that empowers students to become critical thinkers and investigate gender on their own. The text explores five core themes: the social construction of gender differences, gendered inequalities, intersections of gender with other systems of privilege and oppression, a relational global perspective, and the necessity of working toward social justice. To engage students in feminist sociological inquiry, the book features creative learning activities, research examples, and boxed inserts highlighting individuals and groups working toward social justice. By framing issues internationally and guiding students through data and analyses from four diverse countries, Investigating Gender cultivates a global perspective and equips students with tools to critically analyze gender patterns and work toward social change.
