Recenzii
"Overall this is an intelligible and comprehensive book worth utilizing for psychologists and psychologists in training to become better acquainted with gender, sex and sexuality. If psychologists stay abreast on these topics, they can continue being at the forefront for social change and activism."
"Lively, provocative, and informative reviews of key topics and emerging methods."
This book addresses the importance of understanding gender, sex, and sexualities when shaping public policies and defining terms. Dess, Marecek, and Bell address gender and sexualities appropriately and further explain, through appropriate terminology, how to apply this knowledge in everyday life.
This book works well as a starting point for those new to the psychology of gender and sexualities in that it provides concise overviews and histories of different psychological perspectives and also serves well for those more experienced readers who seek to engage with up-to-date ideas and research in the field. The book clearly demonstrates that the field of gender and sexualities research continues to be an exciting and vibrant area of study.
Gender, Sex, and Sexualities provides up-to-the-minute reviews of research on topics that are themselves changing rapidly: nonbinary gender identities, gendered power, gender development, desire and sexuality, and intersectionality. The authors represent an all-star list of experts in the field. Each of the topics is of high interest to gender and sexuality scholars, who will find useful reviews in each chapter. The writing is accessible and the book will be useful in both graduate seminars and undergraduate courses in gender and sexuality studies."
This capacious, comprehensive book will be useful for everyone from the curious undergraduate to the specialized advanced scholar. Leading scholars and researchers from throughout the world guide the reader through the newest empirical research and the most complex theory, from genetics, neuroscience, and biology, to cognitive and developmental psychology, psychoanalysis, and social psychology.
Nancy Dess, Jeanne Marecek, and Leslie Bell have curated a brilliant, accessible and lively text on Gender, Sex, and Sexualities that works like a feminist GPS, guiding novice and experienced readers through contemporary transnational work on gender/sexuality research, theory practice, and activisms...Dess, Marecek, and Bell help us imagine how we make sense, and make trouble, about gender at the radical intersections.
