GNDR 4900 - Masculinities

The shift from "women's studies" to "gender studies" during the last decade or so has included a growing intrest in the study of masculinity and of men as gendered beings. Informed by work in feminist and sexuality studies, what has been termed "masculinity studies" assumes that men and masculinity - in their numerous, complicated variations - are "texts" that can be analyzed from a gendered perspective.
