GENDER

This invaluable volume provides an introduction to the major theories and concepts in Gender Studies. Each of the 37 entries provides a critical definition of the subject, written by an expert in the field, examining its genesis, usage and major contributors. Taking an interdisciplinary and global view of Gender Studies, concepts covered include:

• Agency
• Body
• Class
• Diaspora
• Feminist Politics
• Gender Identity
• Heteronormativity
• Performativity
• Reflexivity
• Subjectivity.

With cross referencing and further reading provided throughout the text, Gender: The Key Concepts explores the relationships between different aspects of the field defined as gender studies, and is essential for all students of Gender Studies.

Mary Evans is a Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics, based at the Gender Institute. She has written studies of feminist theory, Jane Austen and Simone de Beauvoir and is currently working on issues related to the continuation of gender inequality.

Carolyn H. Williams has worked in international development and feminism since 1981. She holds a PhD from the Gender Institute, London School of Economics, where she works as a guest teacher, and is currently researching changing forms of intimacy in the context of migration and multiculturalism.
