New book: Sex and Gender A Contemporary Reader

[SelinaTodd]

I'm a historian at Oxford University and together with Alice Sullivan, Sociology Prof at UCL, I'm co-editor of Sex and Gender: A Contemporary Reader which is published today! All our authors take a gender-critical perspective on debates within the sciences, social sciences and humanities with chapters on sport, criminology and history among others. The stellar lineup of contributors include many feminists known to this forum.
It is published by an academic publisher, which means it's expensive, but having peer-reviewed academic publications that state the facts is vital. It's aimed at general readers as well as students and lecturers - and you can always ask your library to stock it.

As a PC user this link worked for me (not the op link)

But yes, looks like some of us will have to ask libraries to stock, and then we can play that game some libraries now have, to find where the GC books have been hidden away!

Ordered it!

That's definitely a stellar line up! Congratulations!

Well done to you all. I saw Alice Sullivan giving a speech on academic freedom on You Tube and she was fabulous. The price is a bit too high for me but I'll order it through my local library which can do loans from the university library — and I'll get everyone I know to do so too.

Thank you for highlighting this. I'll order it for my university library.

Oooooh - will be getting this on payday!

I'm going to save up for this. Thank you for the code. From what I can see, it cancels out the VAT charge for my destination.

I'm reading it now and it's very good. Very clear language. Lots of common misconceptions cleared up.

Requested our library gets it, and so far they have surprisingly got a lot of the books I requested!

Ordered it! I'm also going to request it from my library as they have been suspiciously unable to locate some books despite my living in a major metropolitan area in a country with extremely robust free speech laws...

I think ordering it from a public library is a great idea and will hopefully men more people read it

Very pleased to report that I ordered this for my university library but was pipped to the post by another fine woman and it's already there. Terfing up north is alive and well guys

Had the same experience when ordering Material Girls for my university library a while back 😊

Good grief, Iggy. Thank you for the link.

Is the book launch public, are there tickets? I'm busy in the afternoon but I'd like to go if I can. I've been googling but can't find info.

Oh cheers!

Heads up - Amazon hss the paperback for £32.99 today (though the Routledge site tells me it can't ship the paperback to my country, without apparently knowing what country that is...)

Launch event link found on Twitter:

Lovely, thank you @JoIsBraverThanIAm I do hope to get there.

Neither are women an academic debate. Such hypocrisy in the trans movement.

Neither are women an academic debate.

Yes of course we're an academic debate, women always have been. And for a short time the academic debate about women was even on women's terms, but then it became gender studies instead of women's studies (because men shouldn't be left out of anything) and started going to pot (maybe a coincidence).

I'm an academic by trade and that's what academia is for. Study. Asking questions. Debating the answers. Not only providing reassuring pap that helps students get jobs, though I do my fair share of that too.

If the person with the placard doesn't want to be an academic debate then maybe s/he should protest the existence of gender studies departments.

£23 on Amazon Kindle, do you still get recogntion if ordered that way?
