Title: Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Gender Studies (Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Gender Studies, 1st ed)
Description: "Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Gender Studies is a debate-style reader designed to introduce students to controversies in gender studies. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading sociologists and social commentators, reflect a variety of viewpoints and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework." "By requiring students to analyze opposing viewpoints and reach considered judgments, Taking Sides actively develops students' critical thinking skills. It is this development of critical thinking skills that is the ultimate purpose of each of the volumes in the Taking Sides program."--Jacket.
