• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Rethinking Women's and Gender Studies provides opportunities to "think otherwise" about and within Women's and Gender Studies by exploring how its key terms operate as the common sense of the field, theorizing how those terms limit the field's possibilities, and arguing that they must instead be understood as always situated or "interested" if the field is to achieve its goals of inclusive and transgressive thinking.
