Gender, Sex, and Sexualities: Psychological Perspectives

Autor Nancy K. Dess, Jeanne Marecek, Leslie C. Bell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iul 2019
For decades, the field of gender, sex, and sexualities has been a focal point of increasing interest. This inquiry has been ignited by successive waves of dramatic social change, chief among them: the re-emergence of feminist movements in the U.S. and Europe in the late 1960s; the sustained (and increasingly successful) bids for legal, social, and religious acceptance of non-heterosexual sexualities in many parts of the world; and the burgeoning number of people (whether cisgendered, gender-variant, trans, or questioning) whose individual and collective experiences of gender and sexuality warrant deeper understanding and further progress toward a fuller realization of human potential and civil rights.In psychology, the intellectual project of understanding gender, sex, and sexualities encompasses a variety of subfields spanning neuroscience and developmental, cognitive, social, and cultural psychology, as well as critical theory. As such, these approaches have inspired new and different psychological questions, as well as increased interest in previously unfamiliar topics of investigation. Edited by Nancy K. Dess, Jeanne Marecek, and Leslie C. Bell, Gender, Sex, and Sexualities offers both students and scholars the tools they need to consider and approach such questions as: how do children come to embrace (or repudiate) gendered activities and identities; how do people experience intimacy, desire, and sexual arousal; and what strategies can psychologists use to de-center their own points of view and effectively contribute to a decolonial psychology?As a result, this volume will open new avenues of inquiry as well as cross-disciplinary conversations for readers everywhere.

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.
