Instead of getting bogged down in the weeds, it presents clear and simple definitions and topics to get conversations started. This is perfect for any undergraduate introductory course.
"Sarah Deward has written an outstanding book that provides a culturally sensitive treatment of a wide range of contemporary issues, including reproductive autonomy, LGBTQIA+ topics, and the #MeToo movement. Students will appreciate the short, readable chapters, which encourage them to apply sociological and gender theory to critically examine everyday life."
"This book is packed to the brim with topics that are certain to encourage students to apply a critical lens when understanding sex, gender, and sexuality. Each chapter serves as a personal invitation for students to consider how they can advance the discussion forward."
