In a new and revised Second Edition, The Sociology of Gender continues to address the bifurcation of gender research between those that are theoretical and those that apply those theories to substantive questions in a systematic fashion. Most notably, in recent years, these two subfields have overarched across disciplinary boundaries to unite others interested in transforming and enhancing the discipline. Achieved through this cross-pollination is a heightened awareness of the gendered dimensions of societal structures; interactions that constitute everyday lives; and institutions (cross-cutting education systems, medicine, law, media and political conceptions and formal implementations). Amy Whartom S. begins with a historical overview of how sociological thought on gender has addressed the central role that ideas play in shaping the study of both sexes and sexuality.Our new edition features new material and includes updated examples, diagrams and photos. Models of "gender" converge from several perspectives, challenging presumptions about norms of sex and behavior, and the assumptions informing social control and stratification. Gender operates at many levels - individual, relationship, and community - to produce a dual reality for men and women. These frameworks are then broken down into lecture modules so that you can easily pick and choose your teaching approach. This textbook encourages students to develop a sophisticated understanding of cutting edge social theory and encourage spirited debate but without sacrificing accessibility. The book is also designed to enrich graduate courses in sociology, women's studies, race and gender, comparative studies, social psychology and more.
For more than 20 years, Amy Wharton's landmark text The Sociology of Sex and Gender, An Introduction has served as the cutting edge in graduate and undergraduate instruction in the interdisciplinary field of sex and gender studies. This Second Edition provides students with an essential overview of the main ideas in sociology's growing academic enterprise. Wharton demonstrates how such seemingly insignificant topics as gender roles and sexual orientations become increasingly central components of modern societies and their theories.
