Discusses the relationships among human begins, the natural environment, and nonhuman animals. This book rejects the nature/culture dualism of patriarchal thought and locates animals and humans within nature. Among the issues addressed are the conflicts between Green politics and ecofeminism, various applications of ecofeminist theory, and more.

"Reproducing Gender? charts the development of a theory of gender relations, built up over the last twenty years. This theory has been highly influential in establishing the importance of sociology of women's education for the study of society. It demonstrates the power of feminist educational theory and research and its role in creating new political and academic agendas." "Taking gender codes as a key concept, this book explores gender relationships at all levels of schooling. It brings together political, social and cultural theories to understand continuity and change in gender and education." "This book will be essential reading for students and academics in the areas of gender studies, women's studies, educational policy, sociology and history of education."--Jacket.

"Gender and Culture in Psychology introduces readers to new approaches to the psychological study of gender that bring together feminist psychology, socio-cultural psychology, discursive psychology and critical psychology. It presents research and theory that embed human action in social, cultural and interpersonal contexts. The book provides conceptual tools for thinking about gender, social categorization, human meaning and culture. It also describes a family of interpretative research methods, which focus on rich talk and everyday activities, and provides a close-in view of how interpretative research proceeds. The latter portion of the book showcases innovative projects in the psychology of gender that investigate topics of concern to scholars and feminist activists: young teens' encounters with heterosexual norms; male-female couples' negotiating the sharing of housework and childcare; sexual coercion and violence in male-female relationships; the cultural politics of women's weight and eating concerns; psychiatric labelling of psychological suffering; and feminism in psychotherapy"--

Exploring the status of feminism in this'postfeminist'age, this sophisticated meditation on feminist thinking over the past three decades moves away from the all too common dependence on French theorists and male thinkers and instead builds on a wide-ranging body of feminist theory written by women.
