Abstract:
"Approaches matter not only from a scientific perspective but also from a humanities and social science perspective, asking what role matter plays in feminist, queer, and other social and political theories. Also grapples with how changes to matter, or the biophysical world, affect what sex and gender may mean in the twenty-first century"-- Provided by publisher.
