Document Summary
Locating women and gender studies as a practice of social critique & analysis. Outline: what is feminism and why it is important (multiple feminisms, difference between sex and gender, masculinity and femininity. Intersectionality: conformity(=similarity) (do you go along with what people say?) Institutions change over time ( institution of marriage change over time - same sex marriage now: social construction (3 ideas by broomley) Rules and expectations are rooted in historical practices. Social construction produced from history - bounded by social, political and economic structures. Example: marriage (becomes a form of politics) is socially constructed: history is important of how we get to particular place. Indian protection act regulated which aboriginal person marry who - it is an example of institutional aw which dictate how people lived (residential schools etc because of that people lost their culture) If you google who is a professor there is only images of old white men (or example from the book with surgeon )
