Call for delegates: 2 November 2012 One day seminar - Young Masculinities: Challenges, Changes and Transitions - Programme<http://www.britsoc.co.uk/media/44405/youth_study_group_event_nov2012_programme.doc> BSA Meeting room, Imperial Wharf, London, UK Key note speaker: Prof Eric Anderson, University of Winchester Since the emergence of critical masculinities studies in the late 1970s, research has started to focus on men as gendered beings. Originally, this examined the negative components of masculinity, that there exist a plurality of masculinities, and how men are stratified within society. However, recent work has sought to challenge the centrality of homophobia as a key component of men's identities in the 21st century. In doing so, such texts highlight a need for us to fully re-examine what it is to be a man, and to develop our understanding of how masculinities are constructed, performed and consumed after a period of significant social, cultural and economic change. This seminar brings together a range of papers from academics at various career stages to help address some of these issues. There will be a registration fee of £10 for BSA Members and £25 for non-members, which will include lunch on the day. Please note that places for this event are limited.
