a personalized lens, undergraduates will be challenged to engage their critical-thinking skills and apply theory to their own lived experiences while also building empathy for marginalized groups. To foster even greater empathy in the classroom, I suggest pairing this assignment with MacNamara’s (2017) activity on experiencing misgendered pronouns. This exercise, which helps cisgender students understand what it might feel like to experience the process of misgendering, is meant to explore the boundaries of gender identity and can be appropriate for a course at any level. Building empathy is a pedagogy that Ghidina (2019:240) claims, in part, fulfills the “promise of sociology.” Ghidina’s article on using empathy to build students’ sociological imagination can be incorporated by introducing video clips of people affected by gender identity–based victimization and various forms of gendered “othering,” followed by a discussion. This pedagogical approach assists in reducing victim blaming and increases social understanding, without which students will have a limited capacity for sociological thinking (Ghidina 2019). With such a wide range of appeal, Trans Kids will surely engross readers, as young as transgender adolescents, who may relate to experiences described in this book, while it also incorporates advanced theory about underexplored social phenomena such that it will inevitably also appeal to upper-level academic researchers. This book may stimulate important methodological discussions surrounding topics of reflexivity and positionality as well as the ethics of research with children. Graduate courses, including Qualitative Research Methods, ought to incorporate the full text to read as both an exemplar ethnographic interview study and an innovative theoretical text on the social construction of gender. Trans Kids could easily become required reading in any sociology graduate seminar on themes of gender and sexuality, or children and youth. The topic of gender identity and youth is given an engaging and empathetic portrayal by Meadow. Her essential book is uniquely well suited to many audiences at varied levels of exposure to gender theory and transgender youth experiences.

书评:特朗普现象:民粹主义政治如何在 2016 年获胜

作为一个个性化的镜头,本科生将面临挑战,培养他们的批判性思维技能并将理论应用于自己的生活经历,同时培养对边缘化群体的同理心。为了在课堂上培养更大的同理心,我建议将此作业与 MacNamara (2017) 关于体验错误性别代词的活动结合起来。这个练习可以帮助顺性别学生了解体验错误性别过程的感觉,旨在探索性别认同的界限,适用于任何级别的课程。建立同理心是 Ghidina (2019:240) 声称的一种教学法,部分实现了“社会学的承诺”。” Ghidina 关于使用同理心建立学生社会学想象力的文章可以通过介绍受基于性别认同的受害和各种形式的性别“他者”影响的人的视频剪辑,然后进行讨论来结合。这种教学方法有助于减少对受害者的指责并增加社会理解,否则学生的社会学思维能力将受到限制(Ghidina 2019)。凭借如此广泛的吸引力,Trans Kids 肯定会吸引年轻到跨性别青少年的读者,他们可能会与本​​书中描述的经历有关,同时它还融合了有关未充分探索的社会现象的先进理论,因此它不可避免地也会吸引上层级学术研究人员。这本书可能会激发围绕反思性和位置性以及儿童研究伦理等主题的重要方法论讨论。研究生课程,包括定性研究方法,应该结合全文阅读,作为民族志访谈研究的范例和关于性别社会建构的创新理论文本。Trans Kids 很容易成为任何社会学研究生研讨会的必读物,主题是性别和性,或儿童和青年。Meadow 对性别认同和青年的主题进行了引人入胜且富有同情心的描绘。她的重要书籍非常适合处于不同层次的性别理论和跨性别青年经历的许多读者。包括定性研究方法在内,应将全文纳入阅读,既是民族志访谈研究的范例,也是性别社会建构的创新理论文本。Trans Kids 很容易成为任何关于性别和性或儿童和青年主题的社会学研究生研讨会的必读读物。Meadow 对性别认同和青年的主题进行了引人入胜且富有同情心的描绘。她的重要书籍非常适合处于不同层次的性别理论和跨性别青年经历的许多读者。包括定性研究方法在内,应将全文纳入阅读,既是民族志访谈研究的范例,也是性别社会建构的创新理论文本。Trans Kids 很容易成为任何关于性别和性或儿童和青年主题的社会学研究生研讨会的必读读物。Meadow 对性别认同和青年的主题进行了引人入胜且富有同情心的描绘。她的重要书籍非常适合处于不同层次的性别理论和跨性别青年经历的许多读者。Trans Kids 很容易成为任何关于性别和性或儿童和青年主题的社会学研究生研讨会的必读读物。Meadow 对性别认同和青年的主题进行了引人入胜且富有同情心的描绘。她的重要书籍非常适合处于不同层次的性别理论和跨性别青年经历的许多读者。Trans Kids 很容易成为任何关于性别和性或儿童和青年主题的社会学研究生研讨会的必读读物。Meadow 对性别认同和青年的主题进行了引人入胜且富有同情心的描绘。她的重要书籍非常适合处于不同层次的性别理论和跨性别青年经历的许多读者。
