Masculinity on the move – men, equality and quality of life
Date: May 31, 2012 to Jun 01, 2012
New times, new solutions? What does it mean to be a boy or a man today? How can woman and men be said to be masculine? How does one develop the "masculine space" in a more equal society? The conference will present new research on men and masculinity, gender and power, health and quality of life. Most of the conference has a research perspective with emphasis on better integration of masculine research in other research disciplines, with particular focus on gender equality and quality of life. The conference will also offer a 'policy part' which will highlight examples of development work and practice in the use of masculine perspectives.
