The Psychology of Sex and Gender meets the needs of gender science today, providing students with fresh, contemporary examples, balanced coverage of men and women, and a grounding in psychological science. The dynamic author team of Jennifer K. Bosson, Joseph A. Vandello, and Camille E. Buckner presents classic and cutting-edge research findings, historical contexts, examples from popular culture, cross-cultural universality and variation, and coverage of nonbinary identities, for a full, vibrant picture of the field. In keeping with the growing scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL), the authors ask students in every chapter to identify and evaluate their own myths and misconceptions, participate in real-world debates on topics at the forefront of the field, and stop to think critically along the way. Students will be talking about this book long after they finish the course, carrying new skills forward into their lives and future careers.
“Psychology of Sex and Gender” is the gospel we need to read, at least once in our life, in order to go and face people like Ben Shapiro, destroy them with their own words. Showing their deep ignorance about the argument, and how their theories are an abstraction of the reality.
I would love to go of one of his show, grab the mic and make a couple of questions to this genius. He has a PhD on social-science, most of us don’t.
But sometimes all we need is the right book, the right authors and the right evidences to go there and let those kind intellectuals speechless.
This was a topic that I was quite interested in learning at the beginning of the semester, but wow, this book was long! I felt like it just went into so much detail, and it made it hard to stay invested. The chapters were just way too long. And it wound up making the subject matter boring, which is not what I wanted.
