In this new book, Raewyn Connell combines vivid research with theoretical insight and radical politics to address this question. The focus moves across gender equality struggles, family change, class and education, intellectual workers, and the global dimension of social science, to contemporary theorists of knowledge and global power, and the political dilemmas of today's left. Written with clarity and passion, this book proposes a bold agenda for social science, and shows it in action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRaewyn Connell is known internationally for her powerfully argued and field-defining books \u003ci\u003eMasculinities\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGender and Power\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMaking the Difference\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSouthern Theory\u003c\/i\u003e.
