Rezensionen

Threshold Concepts, third edition, scaffolds the Women and Gender Studies (WGST) discipline strategically, providing a solid foundation to build instruction. Our department has adopted the text across all Introduction to WGST sections, which brings uniformity to our curriculum. Yet it is its comprehensive, concise overlay that pushes it to the top, giving faculty flexibility to use as a standalone text or add in auxiliary material reflective of their areas of expertise. With contemporary analysis of BLM, gender stratifications erupting out of the COVID pandemic, and the politic of identity and place as this unravels across the globe, this accessible text is certain to grab student interest and engage student learning within the WGST field.

Barbara LeSavoy, Associate Professor, Department of Women and Gender Studies, SUNY Brockport



Threshold Concepts is my go-to intro text. This edition's revisions regarding the social construction of genders, centrality of the Black Lives Matter movement to activism, and the bright light the COVID epidemic shines on systemic privilege will inspire my students.
