Recent feminist sociological  scholarship highlights how gender intersects with other systems of  privilege and oppression. This exciting new text combines these insights  with an innovative, student-centered pedagogical approach. Taking  knowledge acquisition as an important first step, the book goes beyond  this to provide students with tools and skills necessary to become  critical thinkers and, ultimately, investigate gender on their own from a  global feminist sociological perspective. \u003cp\u003eFive themes are carried forward throughout the text:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe social construction of gender differences; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egendered inequalities;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eintersections of gender with other systems of privilege and oppression; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea relational global perspective; and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe necessity of working toward social justice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInvestigating Gender\u003c\/i\u003e employs creative features that engage students in feminist sociological inquiry from the outset. \u003cb\u003e\"Learning Activities\"\u003c\/b\u003e help students link their own lives to broader gender patterns, conduct  gender analyses of their own, and consider ways they can work toward  social justice. \u003cb\u003e\"Research Examples\" \u003c\/b\u003eintroduce students to  specific studies and model how to critically engage with contemporary  scholarship from a feminist sociological perspective.
