About the Book

Gender is one of the most important topics in the field of sociology, and as a system of social practices it inspires a multitude of theoretical approaches. The Sociology of Gender offers an introductory overview of gender theory and research, offering a unique and compelling approach. * Treats gender as a multilevel system operating at the individual, interactional, and institutional levels. * Stresses conceptual and theoretical issues in the sociology of gender. * Offers an accessible yet intellectually sophisticated approach to current gender theory and research. * Includes pedagogical features designed to encourage critical thinking and debate. Closer Look readings at the end of each chapter give a unique perspective on chapter topics by presenting relevant articles by leading scholars.
