It expands the idea of gender by challenging assumptions of a gender binary and includes additional focus on the experiences of men. The new edition is grounded in both feminist theory and psychological research. A new research methods chapter teaches students to use research and critical thinking to strengthen their own voices. Student learning becomes active with a new and engaging Norton Illumine Ebook that engages students with active learning opportunities, including embedded videos that make the content come alive through the voices of diverse individuals, and Check Your Understanding questions that provide retrieval practice so students “lock in” what they learn in every section.
