Gender studies

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Gender plays a critical role within many areas concerning society and the legal system. Gender has been used to influence policy, systems of domination and oppression, and as a way to liberate or subjugate minority groups. I chose this article because it contained material surrounding historical and contemporary ideas around how we understand and teach gender, which largely pertains to gender in the law.

Evaluate the article
I found the article to be concise and accessible.The page is structured well, including gender theories, histories, and attitudes regarding how various countries approach cultural shifts regarding gender roles and ideas about how we categorize gender. There's an effort to encompass diverse attitudes and literature surrounding gender studies that expand beyond just a Western scope, although these are lacking in many areas and could use more content. Information pertaining to areas such as government attitudes is scarce and would need to be expanded upon in order to accurately represent how various countries are tackling gender within an academic curriculum. The section on women's studies is also lacking significantly given how widely women's gender studies have been pertinent for many historical movements and achievements regarding women's rights and gender equality. ~
