This one-day postgraduate conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for postgraduate students and early career researchers to discuss images of masculinity in popular culture, including literary fiction, cinema, television, radio, theatre, and music, and journalism. We welcome proposals from a range of theoretical perspectives and encourage submissions from researchers across the humanities and social sciences.

Possible topics for papers include, but are by no means limited to:
• Audio-visual or written representations of masculinity and the male body
• Representations of significant male figures, historical or fictional, within popular culture
• Masculine archetypes or stereotypes
• The masculine authorial voice within narrative art forms
• Modes and traditions of masculinity specific to particular ethnic or national groups
