Supplements

Author WordPress Website

Joya Misra, Mahala Dyer Stewart, and Marni Alyson Brown designed the Gendered Lives, Sexual Beings companion website with the purpose to engage undergraduate students and their instructors in cutting-edge gender and sexuality research. The website complements the conversation started in the reader and reflects the most important classic statements and the most up-to-date research on gender and sexuality. To remain consistent with the readings, you will find that the site is organized around the eleven themes found in the reader. In addition, the supplemental material and resources highlight the authors’ four consistent frameworks: intersectionality, masculinity, transgender, and global processes (IMTG).

“[Gendered Lives, Sexual Beings] is intersectional, updated, and (for lack of a better term) more hip in what it covers.”

Maura Ryan
Georgia State University

“I appreciate the ways in which [Gendered Lives, Sexual Beings] addresses intersectional frameworks that include transgender as well as nationality in the discourse.  [ . . . ] Most noteworthy is in the inclusion of sexuality in the discussion along with work, social movements, and so forth throughout the extensive and diverse readings in each section.”

Naomi J. Pinion
Northern Arizona University

“I particularly appreciate the approach to the ancillary materials [for Gendered Lives, Sexual Beings]. Of specific note, the regularly updated web materials [are] a wonderful resource to both augment readings and to aid in daily outlines/lesson plans.”

Matthew B. Ezzell
James Madison University
