Gender Studies

A Multidisciplinary Approach
This book explores the interrelationship between gender and multidisciplinarity, and the different ways in which gender informs the work of diverse subject areas. Using facet methodology, chapters examine disciplines in conversation with each other to produce new ideas and ways of thinking about contemporary theories and politics of gender.
This book explores the interrelationship between gender and multidisciplinarity, and the different ways in which gender informs the work of diverse subject areas. Using facet methodology, chapters examine disciplines in conversation with each other to produce new ideas and ways of thinking about contemporary theories and politics of gender.

The book moves through five core aspects of gender: routine everyday practices, critiquing power and politics, gendered histories and herstories, bodies and embodiment, and laws which operate at meta and micro levels. Chapters draw on a wide range of examples from the climate crisis and medical science to social sciences and culture, engaging with the varied meanings of gender and questioning dominant assumptions. The authors argue that focusing on multidisciplinarity allows us to consider how disciplines have become gendered in terms of who participates in the discipline and analyse implicitly gendered assumptions about what counts as knowledge or even as data.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is an invigorating read for gender studies scholars from undergraduate to post-graduate level, particularly those focusing on interdisciplinarity in the field. With an exploration of gender across a vast array of disciplines, it is also of interest to scholars across sociology, anthropology, philosophy, politics, media studies, psychology and economics.
