Gender: Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks: 10 Volume set

The goal of the Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks series on gender is to provide an exceptional opportunity for many people, especially undergraduate students, to become more familiar with the usefulness and pleasure of â??doing gender and sexuality studies.â?? The introductory volume and subsequent volumes on Animals, God, Laughter, Love, Matter, Nature, Space, Time, and War offer a conceptual approach that encourages a thoroughly cross-, trans-, and interdisciplinary exploration of so-called universal themes. A variety of sexually, racially, and gender-sensitive critical perspectives are employed to investigate foundational questions addressed by feminist scholars and scientists. Chapters in each volume are newly commissioned and hence based on fresh and topical research and debates from fields such as philosophy, anthropology, literature, art, music, social sciences, (old and new) media, history, science, religion, and others.
