Gender studies

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Gender studies is inherently a part of my course in Mexican Americans Women's History, and its the overarching discipline that this class would be considered a sub-branch of.

The overall layout and introduction to the article are good, however with such a strong lead it has become apparent that the latter half of the article, in regards to the both the Development and Criticism sections. Changes I would recommend would be:


 * Better defining the effects that Psychoanalytic and Post-modern theorists have had on both the development of and the implementation of Gender Studies both theoretically and academically. If articles already exist discussing this, then they should be linked under the subheading
 * The History section is rather short and sporadic, with only a outline of the development of field discussed without hard dates to effectively timeline the progression of the field. The random factoid of Kabul Universities programs also seem both out of place and not relevant to the page as a whole.
 * Finally, the Criticism section offers a good insight to some of the theoretical debate surrounding the Field, but lack further detail into the extent of academic cooperation and resistance to Gender Studies. The focus on Central and Eastern European resistance is also narrow in scope, and possible additions regarding resistance with Western, Islamic, Latino, and African state attitudes would go a great length in illustrating the debate regarding Gender Studies.
