<br/><br/> Revision of the author's Communicating gender diversity : a critical approach, published in 2007. 
<br/><br/>
<br/><br/> Examining the variety of ways in which communication of and about gender enables and constrains people's identities. This student focused book demonstrates how communication constitutes gender, rather than presenting gender as an influence on communication. Operating from an intersectional gender diversity perspective, they show how a focus on gender/sex alone omits the richness of diverse gendered lives. In addition, they explore how gender is constructed through interpersonal and public discourse in, about, and by the social institutions of family, education, work, religion, and media. Throughout the book, readers are equipped with critical analysis tools they can use to form their own conclusions about the ever-changing processes of gender in communication.
