Threshold Concepts in Women's and Gender Studies: Ways of Seeing, Thinking, and Knowing
is a textbook designed primarily for introduction to Women's and Gender Studies courses
with the intent of providing both skills- and concept-based foundation in the field.
The text is driven by a single key question: "What are the ways of thinking, seeing,
and knowing that characterize Women's and Gender Studies and are valued by its practitioners?"
Rather than taking a topical approach, Threshold Concepts develops the key concepts
and ways of thinking that students need in order to develop a deep understanding and
to approach material like feminist scholars do, across disciplines. This book illustrates
four of the most critical concepts in Women's and Gender Studies--the social construction
of gender, privilege and oppression, intersectionality, and feminist praxis--and grounds
these concepts in multiple illustrations. The second edition includes a significant
number of updates, revisions, and expansions: the case studies in all five chapters
have been revised and expanded, as have the end of chapter elements, statistics have
been updated, and numerous references to significant news stories and cultural developments
of the past three years have been added. Finally, many more "callbacks" to previous
chapters have been incorporated throughout the textbook in order to remind students
to carry forward and build upon what they have learned about each threshold concept
even as they move on to a new one
