Psychology and Gender

An Advanced Reader

About this book

This book provides an understanding of how psychology and gender are closely interrelated. It examines, critiques, and debunks some of the theoretical premises from mainstream psychology while remaining mindful and respectful of their utilities. The book brings together psychological concepts, theories, and paradigms and examines how they interplay with gender studies going beyond the typical understanding of gender as merely demographic variable. The volume discusses important concepts such as gender role development and interpersonal relationships across caste, class, genders, sexualities, race, and region. It also studies the significant link between psychology and gender and with feminism, women's studies, the women's movement, the queer movement, queer studies, as well as other social movements. It uses an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach all through.

This book will appeal to students, researchers, and teachers of psychology, applied psychology, gender and women studies, sociology, practitioners, activists, those working in not-for-profit organizations and those working specifically on engendering psychology. The book will also be valuable reading for those interested in South Asian studies and other interdisciplinary courses in social sciences.
