About

Overview

The goal of the Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks series on gender is to provide an exceptional opportunity for many people, especially undergraduate students, to become more familiar with the usefulness and pleasure of “doing gender and sexuality studies.” The introductory volume and subsequent volumes on Animals, God, Laughter, Love, Matter, Nature, Space, Time, and War offer a conceptual approach that encourages a thoroughly cross-, trans-, and interdisciplinary exploration of so-called universal themes. A variety of sexually, racially, and gender-sensitive critical perspectives are employed to investigate foundational questions addressed by feminist scholars and scientists. Chapters in each volume are newly commissioned and hence based on fresh and topical research and debates from fields such as philosophy, anthropology, literature, art, music, social sciences, (old and new) media, history, science, religion, and others.

Features and Benefits

  • 10 volumes on various interdisciplinary areas of research in gender studies.
  • The first volume serves as a primer, with subsequent volumes focusing on specific areas of innovative gender studies research: Animals, God, Laughter, Love, Matter, Nature, Space, Time, and War.
  • Each volume consists of over 20 illustrated chapters related to the volume's theme.
  • Each volume includes an introduction, a glossary, and an index.
  • Chapters are written by scholars for undergraduates to explain key areas of debate and research in gender studies and include bibliographies.

Reviews

"The 31 chapters in this volume, written by scholars from institutions in six countries, are quite diverse: ecology, erotics, literature, disability, pornography, posthuman, etc. Each chapter includes a bibliography, including films and Websites when appropriate. There is a great deal of information provided on these topics, from the point of view of the evolution of study and research in this field. . . . Libraries who serve students and other readers with some previous engagement with these topics will benefit most from the richness of this text, and its forthcoming successors”
