Description
Summary:
"What Ways of Seeing, Thinking, and Knowing: Threshold Concepts in Women's and Gender Studies does is not "cover" material but rather "uncover" the key threshold concepts and ways of thinking that students need in order to develop a deep understanding and to approach material like feminist scholars do, across disciplines. This book illustrates four of the most critical threshold concepts in women's and gender studies: the social construction of gender; privilege and oppression; intersectionality; and feminist praxis, and grounds these concepts in multiple illustrations. This book is for introduction to women's and gender studies courses. "-- Provided by publisher.
