Gender Relations: Intersectionality and Beyond focuses on how gender differences and inequalities play out in the social lives of men and women throughout the life course. Theory is linked with practice through a series of case studies that highlight current research from Canada, the United States, Britain, and Australia. Through a range of theories and with attention to distinct, yet overlapping, stages of the human life course, the book illuminates how gender differences and inequalities are expressed at critical junctures of the gendered lives of women and men.

Gender Relations: Intersectionality and Beyond

Doucet, Andrea

Oxford University Press

Gender Relations in Canada is an accessible examination of the many ways gendered structures and identities are embraced, resisted, and challenged in Canada today. Taking an intersectional approach, this text first presents the major shifts in sociological thinking about gender before moving on to consider how gender shapes our experiences throughout our lives.

Gender Relations in Canada: Intersectionalities and Social Change

First published in 1994, Locating Gender combines a case-study approach with significant theoretical development to challenge explanations of occupational segregation. It examines the diversity of women's employment experience, gender segregation within employment establishments, employment and domestic relations, and the place of gender in perceptions of inequality. The book develops the concepts of component-wage and full-wage jobs in the context of work histories and employment relations, and establishes their usefulness in the study of the social adequacy of wages. In doing so, it provides a close and critical examination of the power of gender as an explanatory concept in employment and domestic relations, including an in-depth analysis of the circumstances prior to, and following, changes to eliminate sex discrimination from official practices in a particular workplace. It will be of interest to students and researchers of gender studies, the sociology of work and social stratification, social policy, business studies, and labour economics.
