Sex and Gender can only be properly understood when examined in the contexts of biological, psychological, and social processes and the interactions between those processes. The structure of this book facilitates this necessary exhaustive discussion: First section: a biological analysis discussing evolutionary, cellular, and genetic processes, and their effects on physical and behavioral development Second section: a psychological and sociological analysis discussing stereotypes, sexism, and theories of gender Final section: a discussion of the current global challenges surrounding sex and gender, such as discrimination and religious and social oppression of various groups. Across chapters: bonus features that can be used as discussion topics, student essay topics, or special topics for instructors to expand the book's discussion into the classroom This textbook is essential for instructors hoping to offer a thorough and complex analysis of sex and gender studies to their classrooms. The focus on biological, psychological, and social processes-as separate entities and interacting processes-make Sex and Gender particularly crucial for a comprehensive and evolved understanding of the subject. The bonus features intended to transfer the information to classroom discussion and practice will be especially valuable to students and teachers alike"-
