WGST 335 Critical Studies in Masculinity

3.00 credits

(4,0,0)

15 wks

This course examines social, cultural, and political constructions of masculinity in the past and present. The course considers the interplay between the dominant expression of a “hegemonic masculinity” and the co-existence and persistence of “multiple masculinities” that often elude it or resist it. Course readings will engage with emerging forms of (cis, trans*, new) masculinities, situating them against the background of new developments in popular feminist and academic feminist critique.
