<p><b>Nancy A. Naples</b> is Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Connecticut. Her publications include over fifty book chapters and journal articles in numerous interdisciplinary and sociological journals. To highlight a few of her works, Nancy Naples is Editor-in-Chief of the five-volume <i>Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Gender and Sexuality Studies</i> (2016) and she is author of <i>Feminism and Method: Ethnography, Discourse Analysis, and Activist Research</i> (2003) and <i>Grassroots Warriors: Community Work, Activist Mothering and the War on Poverty</i> (1998).</p>

<p>The <i>Companion to Women's and Gender Studies</i> is a comprehensive resource for students and scholars alike, exploring the central concepts, theories, themes, debates, and events in this dynamic field. Contributions from leading scholars and researchers cover a wide range of topics while providing diverse international, postcolonial, intersectional, and interdisciplinary insights. In-depth yet accessible chapters discuss the social construction and reproduction of gender and inequalities in various cultural, social-economic, and political contexts.</p> <p>Thematically-organized chapters explore the development of Women's and Gender Studies as an academic discipline, changes in the field, research directions, and significant scholarship in specific, interrelated disciplines such as science, health, psychology, and economics. Original essays offer fresh perspectives on the mechanisms by which gender intersects with other systems of power and privilege, the relation of androcentric approaches to science and gender bias in research, how feminist activists use media to challenge misrepresentations and inequalities, disparity between men and women in the labor market, how social movements continue to change Women's and Gender Studies, and more.</p> <p><i>Companion to Women's and Gender Studies</i> is an ideal text for instructors teaching courses in gender, sexuality, and feminist studies, or related disciplines such as psychology, history, education, political science, sociology, and cultural studies, as well as practitioners and policy makers working on issues related to gender and sexuality.</p>
