Course Synopsis
This course explores the meaning and emergence of masculinity and aims to develop awareness about social construction of masculinities by using different theoretical lenses. There is not one version of masculinity but rather multiple masculinities influenced by gender, race, ethnicity, class, nationality, sexuality, disability and subcultures. This course will also explore the approaches to the study of men/masculinities and identify key concepts and issues for in-depth analysis.
