Everyday Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies is a guide to engaging students in the challenges鈥攁nd pleasures鈥攐f thinking critically about gender, race, and sex today. By focusing on 鈥渢he everyday,鈥� it speaks to the importance of students鈥� understanding the taken-for granted circumstances of their daily lives. It explores the idea that 鈥減eople are different, and the world isn鈥檛 fair,鈥� and engages students in the follow-up question, 鈥淣ow that we know, how shall we live?鈥� 鈥淭his publication is of great significance for students from any faculty, even though it is most likely going to have the greatest impact in the Faculty of Arts,鈥� said Dr. Nebojsa Kujundzic, dean of arts at 91探花.
