Recent Political, Economic, and Social Shifts

In Canada and elsewhere, recent political, economic, and social shifts have brought gender to the forefront of politics as never before, from gender-based analyses and “feminist budgets” to the #MeToo, Idle No More, and Black Lives Matter movements.

Book Content and Focus

Detailing these gendered and turbulent political times, this book features state-of-the-art scholarship from diverse contributors that encompasses both contemporary challenges as well as avenues for change now and into the future.

Scope and Approach

This collection represents a complex treatment of both gender and politics, in which gender is examined in light of other collective identities and their intersections, and politics refers to both institutional and movement and countermovement politics.
