Description
Sir Francis Bacon once explaining and elaborating ‘innovations’, metaphoricallyÃÂ called them STRANGERS that are more admired but less favoured. Almost same isÃÂ the case with ‘Gender Studies’ – a young discipline – particularly in PakistaniÃÂ academia. And it, as a subject of study at CSS level, is more like an ABSOLUTEÃÂ STRANGER for the majority of CSS community! This book “Gender Studies” is anÃÂ attempt to break the ice and familiarize its readers (especially the CSS aspirants) withÃÂ this inclusive subject in such a way that they get hold of its SCOPE, IMPORTANCEÃÂ and FUNCTION with ease.ÃÂ “Gender Studies” introduces students to the discipline of Gender Studies byÃÂ analyzing women’s roles and contributions to society and culture from the perspectiveÃÂ of the recent scholarship on women. It also explores and shares developments in theÃÂ field of Masculinity and Queer Studies.ÃÂ “Gender Studies”, as its additional components, brings to it readers: ‘Key TermsÃÂ in Gender Studies’, a Timeline of Gender Events’, and a precise list of ‘GenderÃÂ Issue(s) Champions’. On the whole “Gender Studies” primarily throws light on theÃÂ complex interactions between gender and other social divisions such as identity, race,ÃÂ class, and sexual orientation. In addition, it also addresses the following issues: theÃÂ polltics of women’s work, the representation of women’s bodies in the media, maleÃÂ violence (and) violence against women, healthcare and reproductive rights, gender andÃÂ social psychology, gender and public policy, and global feminism. The history ofÃÂ feminist movements in west and their certain theoretical perspectives have also beenÃÂ sufficiently addressed in here. Studying “Gender Studies” is firmly hoped to be strongÃÂ and relevant supportÃÂ or the candidates who wish to ace their Gender Studies paperÃÂ with flying colours.Gene
