Interdisciplinary Studies

For philosophy-focused undergraduate-level Introduction to Race, Sex, and Gender courses, or courses that focus on race, sex, and gender.

This thematic anthology of contemporary articles/court cases on race, sex, and gender is divided into three sections. The anthology identity issues, then injustices and inequalities, and then specific social and legal issues relevant to race, sex, and gender. By exposing students to theoretical foundations, opposing views, and “real life” applications, the reader prepares students to make critically-reasoned decisions concerning today's social problems.

• Philosophical analysis of race, sex, and gender concepts.

  • Provides philosophy instructors with a text designed specifically with their needs in mind, saving them the time and work they usually have to spend in adapting other texts and materials on the subject (e.g., from sociology).

• Independent, yet thematically linked, sections—Section I features articles and court cases that address sex, gender, and race identity and lay the theoretical foundation for the rest of the text. Section II includes articles and court cases that address inequalities and injustices—e.g., racism, sexism, heterosexism, and homophobia. Primarily theoretical in nature, they address questions such as “What is racism?” rather than discussion of particular social issues such as affirmative action. Section III offers 5 chapter-length discussions on different social issues—preferential treatment, discriminatory harassment, identity speech, sexual speech, and sexual assault—addressing various ways to conceptualize and legally respond to the issues. Throughout, each chapter includes some articles that touch on issues raised in the other chapters.

  • Allows instructors to teach topics independently or in specific combinations to stress thematic connections.

• Short excerpts from recent legal cases.

  • Shows students how race, sex, and gender issues are relevant to “real life.”

• “Case studies”—Several at the end of each chapter. Provide brief descriptions of very recent events culled from newspapers.

  • Encourages students to recognize theoretical implications of practices and public policies.

• Opposing viewpoints—Concerning the issues.

  • Enables students to analyze conflicting points of view.

(NOTE: Each chapter begins with Introduction and concludes with Case Studies.)

  Bioethics in a Changing World

  For Medical Ethics courses.

   

  Bioethics in a Changing World is an introductory textbook for individuals who are new to the study of bioethics. This interdisciplinary field, which encompasses philosophy, religion, sociology, gerontology, psychiatry, biomedical science, law, and nursing (to name a few), has been rapidly growing and developing over the last half-century.  In order to get a handle on what “doing” bioethics entails, it is helpful to start with the basic philosophical foundations of bioethical theory and then consider a variety of trenchant issues that arise from the practice of medicine and the provision of health care services within an age of technology.

   

  In constructing this textbook, the central aim has been to guide readers in developing a clear sense of how theory and practice are linked in the dynamic field of bioethics.  Though new problems and issues in bioethics are constantly arising, it is important to focus on the persistence of foundational questions that apply to new contexts.
