Gender Actualized

Gender Actualized: Cases in Communicatively Constructing Realities is an edited collection of 43 cases that provide a common frame for dialoguing about gender/ed issues. Centered in narrative theory, it extends the realm of personal experience by introducing situations in context that involve real decisions about important issues that, like life, do not lend themselves to superficial or simple analysis. Kirby and McBride have updated cases from the previous edition to expand coverage of gendered topics such as work/life and organizations, family and parenting, health and medicine, education, religion, violence/abuse, and language, among others. Additionally, they have added new cases and highlighted a perspective of intersectionality to better address current issues of gender, including: #MeToo Movement Black Lives Matter Gendered issues with immigration Transgender and nonbinary gendered identities Toxic masculinity Consent Bullying Upon adoption of the casebook for your course, additional benefits include: The new e-edition costs only $25 for students (for 43 casesless than 60 cents a case!)
