KEY FEATURES: The text is driven by an interest in unequal relations of power and how gender informs and is reinforced in institutions and other large-scale historical processes. Global perspectives are woven throughout book for today's increasingly globalized students. The book focuses on understanding not just gender but the social world through a gendered lens. The practical application of theoretical themes shows specific arenas of life not necessarily considered "gendered" on the surface.

Video is an important new instrument for sociological research, sometimes welcomed as the 'microscope' of social science. It provides access to important and otherwise difficult to examine aspects of human interaction. Moreover, because video captures practice in its lived production as 'another next first time' (Garfinkel 2002), it makes it possible to study practical creativity - the way in which people invent new practices. In this paper, I probe the microscope metaphor through concrete examples from my work with landscape architects and computer scientists in participatory technology research and design projects.
