Webinar: What Does Masculinity Have to Do With It: Men, Fathers’ Rights Groups, and the Complexities of Masculinity
Masculinity is the domain by which violence against women is often rationalized as an act of entitled right to ownership over women’s bodies. While this notion has been upheld through various scholarship, I argue that rising gender based violence is precipitated by an uncertainty of masculine gender norms and expectations. What is labeled is anxious masculinity, is a rise in uncertainty and precarity around gender norms that is often mitigated through compensatory acts of masculinity, such as gender based violence.
Have you listened to the RESOLVing Violence Podcast yet?
The province of Saskatchewan is home to a vibrant research community and hundreds of organizations and service providers working to prevent, respond to, and assist with recovery from violence and abuse.
Through this podcast, we hope to facilitate that transfer of knowledge from the research community to these applied stakeholders and people with lived experience, to make staying up to date on current research that much more accessible and efficient.
