The word gender has traditionally been a proxy for women, therefore, calling for gender inclusion meant content most often on women and women's issues. However, today there are new realities that make a call for gender inclusion more complex. For example, there is awareness that men have a gender too, and, therefore, there is increased attention being paid to men and masculinities in diverse disciplines. In addition, the emerging literature in transgender studies calls for more complex understandings and models of gender because of the lived experience of gendervariant persons as well as postmodern theoretical concepts (McPhail, 2004a).This call for a more complex gendered story in the curriculum comes at a pivotal time in social work that is due to larger concerns, including the graying of feminist faculty; the claim that social work students and With the advent of the 2nd wave of the women's movement, numerous voices within social work academia called for the inclusion of gendered content in the curriculum. The subsequent addition of content on women was a pivotal achievement for the social work profession. However, gender is an increasingly slippery concept. A current call for re-gendering the social work curriculum includes continued emphasis on the importance of the concept of gender while acknowledging that men have a gender, too. The call for a more comprehensive understanding of gender includes new conceptualizations of women; more complex understandings of feminism(s); content on men, masculinities, and transgender issues; and methods for teaching a critical gender consciousness.Specific class exercises and film recommendations are included.

The feminist perspective on intimate partner violence is a predominant model in the field, although not immune to criticism. In this research, frontline workers in the violence against women movement responded to critiques of the feminist model. The project used a focus group and a modified grounded theory analysis. Participants agreed with some criticisms, including an overreliance on a punitive criminal justice system, but reported skepticism toward proposed alternatives. Findings led to the development of the Integrative Feminist Model, which expands the feminist perspective in response to critiques, new research, and alternative theories while retaining a gendered analysis of violence.
