Virtually all textbooks and courses devote attention to it, and many departments regularly teach at least one "sociology of gender" course. But it is also one of the more difficult topics to teach to undergraduates. Despite the fact that gender is a major organizing feature of daily life, many students fail to recognize its importance or prevalence. Many of the issues surrounding gender are highly sensitive and can evoke strong negative reactions from students (Davis 1992; Moore 1997). Many of the challengesthat confrotn sociology instructors, which Goldsmid and Wilson (1980) discussed, (e.g., sociology as a threat, as common sense) are especially true for those teaching gender.
