'The Future of Gender draws together eminent scholars from diverse academic disciplines to interrogate the conceptual efficacy of 'gender' - evaluating whether, and in what ways, 'gender' provides a useful category of analysis and a productive basis for an emancipatory politics. This is an original and stimulating collection with high quality essays that challenge existing orthodoxies, and one another, in interesting and provocative ways.' Judith Squires, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol
