GENDER AND CULTURE BACKGROUND READINGS

Kay E. Vandergrift

Special Interest Page

Culture/Gender Page

 

The recent proliferation of material about gender and culture is evident to all, and readers should be alert to new and significant works as they appear. This highly selected list of readings includes monographs, articles, curriculum guides, and reference tools representing various standpoints from which to consider these topics. Most are from the last few years and represent some of the latest thinking on issues of critical concern to our society. Many take a broad scope while others focus on much narrower topics within the area of youth literature.

Those articles available online are hot linked, although some are items in Vandergrift's Cyberlibrary which is a restricted, password protected site.
