Abstract

The anthology by Catherine M. Orr, Ann Braithwaite, and Diane Lichtenstein offers an up-to-date examination of the central concepts of self-/attribution in Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) in the context of the current restructuring of universities – such as, methods, pedagogy, community, discipline, and institutionalization. In doing so, the authors, on the one hand, choose a genealogical approach in order to illustrate the functionality of these concepts; on the other hand, based on self-reflection on their own teaching and position within WGS, they introduce suggestions for modifications in order to potentially present new directions for Women’s and Gender Studies.
