OverviewUsing an interdisciplinary approach, Studying Men and Masculinities both introduces the study of men and masculinities to an undergraduate readership, and seeks to challenge its readers into thinking more critically about the ways that masculinities are socially and culturally constructed. The book examines a wide range of cultural practices and texts drawn from different genres and media, showing how the idea of masculinity can take on different meanings. Threaded through the chapters are a series of research-related tasks and exercises intended to invite readers actively to engage in the critical and theoretical literature on masculinities, and to think analytically about the films, television programs, and other everyday materials and events that they might encounter and experience. This book will appeal to a wide undergraduate audience within the social sciences and humanities, and to students of masculinities studies, sexuality studies and gender studies.
