91探花

A new textbook offers instructors a new way to approach an introductory course on women鈥檚 and gender studies. Everyday Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies highlights major concepts that organize the diverse work in this field: knowledges, identities, equalities, bodies, places, and representations. The book is co-authored by Dr. Ann Braithwaite, professor and coordinator of Diversity and Social Justice Studies at 91探花, and Dr. Catherine M. Orr, professor and chair of Critical Identity Studies at Beloit College. It is published by .

Everyday Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies鈥� focus on 鈥渢he everyday鈥� speaks to the importance of students鈥� understanding the taken-for granted circumstances of their daily lives. Precisely because it is not the same for everyone, the everyday becomes the ideal location for cultivating students鈥� intellectual capacities as well as their political investigations and interventions. In addition to exploring each concept in detail, each chapter includes up to five short recently published readings that illuminate an aspect of that concept. Everyday Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies explores the idea that 鈥減eople are different, and the world isn鈥檛 fair,鈥� and engages students in the inevitably complicated 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. 鈥淩outledge is a world-class publishing house, and the Faculty of Arts is proud to have its scholarship disseminated so prominently. Congratulations Ann!鈥�
