Infos

This book provides innovative pedagogy, theory, and strategies for college and university professors who seek effective methods and materials for teaching about gender and sex to today's students. It provides thoughtful reflections on the new struggles and opportunities instructors face in teaching gender and sex during what has been called the 'post-feminist era.' Building off its predecessor: Teaching Race and Anti-Racism in Contemporary America, this book offers complementary classroom exercises for teachers, that foster active and collaborative learning.  Through reflecting on the gendered dimensions of the current political, economic, and cultural climate, as well as presenting novel lesson plans and classroom activities, Teaching Gender and Sex in Contemporary America is a valuable resource for educators.

She also has a published book chapter entitled Vigilante Groups in Battleground: Immigration. Edited by Judith Warner. (Greenwood Press. 2010).
