Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course explores multiple social constructions of masculinity produced through varying cultural social, political, and economic processes. Masculinity Studies encompasses not only what society would consider "traditional" male experiences, but also involves masculinity as it is experienced and expressed across genders, sexes, sexual orientations, and identities, as well as lived experiences of masculinity. In the tradition of feminist, gender, and sexuality studies, this course is interdisciplinary and focused on intersectionality. The course examines masculinity in its various manifestations through a variety of media sources, including films, television clips, music lyrics, and contextualizes them with accessible theoretical texts.
