| Book Description | Gender and Culture in Psychology introduces new approaches to the psychological study of gender that bring together feminist psychology, socio-cultural psychology, discursive psychology and critical psychology. It presents research and theory that embed human action in social, cultural and interpersonal contexts. The book provides conceptual tools for thinking about gender, social categorization, human meaning-making, and culture. It also describes a family of interpretative research methods that focus on rich talk and everyday life. It provides a close-in view of how interpretative research proceeds. The latter part of the book showcases innovative projects that investigate topics of concern to feminist scholars and activists: young teens' encounters with heterosexual norms; women and men negotiating household duties and childcare; sexual coercion and violence in heterosexual encounters; the cultural politics of women's weight and eating concerns; psychiatric labelling of psychological suffering; and feminism in psychotherapy. |
| Editorial Review | Gender and Culture in Psychology is a gift to students and scholars of psychology, critical race theory, feminist studies and narrative researchers. Eva Magnusson and Jeanne Marecek brilliantly hold our intellectual hands as they walk us through an elegant and accessible genealogy of gender, culture, interpretative analysis, discourse, meaning making and the ways in which the local both shapes and limits what we say.' Michelle Fine, Distinguished Professor, City University of New York 'A compelling work of subtlety and scholarship by two eminent feminist researchers whose wide experience across the field of psychological theory and practice make this accessible and elegant text essential reading for psychological practitioners, students and researchers alike.' Erica Burman, Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University 'This book will delight readers searching for an accessible yet sophisticated introduction to a more contextual approach to psychology. Integrative and engaging, it is a treasure chest of ideas and examples drawn from across and beyond the discipline. This is a timely and important book that is likely to inspire a new generation of students and scholars with tools to do psychology differently.' Nicola Gavey, University of Auckland "Gender and Culture in Psychology: Theories and Practices is a dense and informative book that should be required reading for all psychologists and other social scientists. The authors, Eva Magnusson and Jeanne Marecek, provide a synopsis of contemporary approaches to the psychology of gender with clarity, brevity, depth, and eloquence.... In sum, this is a useful book for those new to the psychology of gender, as well as for experts in the field. It seems to speak to everyone and to apply beyond the cultures where it was researched. It calls the reader to question the "status quo" and to examine how one's own identity is tied to culture.... Overall, this book represents an accessible, concise account of current directions in the psychology of gender." Dr. Judith L. Gibbons, Saint Louis University, Regina Fanjul de Marsicovetere, Universidad del Valle de Guatemala and Ruby Batz, Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, PsycCRITIQUES "...In Gender and Culture in Psychology, Eva Magnusson and Jeanne Marecek offer us ways of thinking about the nature and production of psychological knowledge as historically and culturally situated.... Magnusson and Marecek powerfully remind us that meaning is essential, that meaning is contextual, and that interpretative methods reveal meaning. Graduate students in psychology and related fields, as well as their teachers and mentors, will benefit enormously from the work they have done in the interest of helping us understanding our humanness." --Dana Becker, Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, Sex Roles "...Writing from the perspective that gender is a social practice, the authors ably and cogently bring together multiple disciplines within psychology--including feminist, discursive, sociocultural, and critical approaches--to argue for the use of potentially richer, less reductive, and more interpretative research methods. Even those schooled primarily in quantitative methods of analysis, with only glancing exposure to qualitative analysis, will find the book accessible, even motivating.... Magnusson and Marecek's book is a wonder of both brevity and exegesis.... Highly recommended..." --L. E. Barnes-Young, American Military University, CHOICE "...Magnusson and Marecek provide clear explanations of important concepts related to gender and culture, a succinct introduction to feminist interpretive and discursive research methods with examples of research projects completed in this tradition, and a useful critique of psychology as a discipline..." --Cathleen Power, Westminster College, Salt Lake City, UT, Psychology of Women Quarterly |
