Conceptions of Masculinity Discussion

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | In recognition of the impact that constructions and expressions of gender have on all our experiences, the weekly Conceptions of Masculinity Discussions throughout term are aimed at understanding masculinity from a male-identified perspective. In addition to exploring the connections between masculinity and themes of violence and power, this will also be a space for introspection on how concepts and expectations of 'manliness' and 'masculinity' shape our relationships, aspirations, fears, achievements, and identity. As the term progresses, we will discuss shared readings and host film screenings on these topics. There will, of course, be snacks.
