Dear friends and colleagues
Journal of Men, Masculinities and Spirituality 6.2 is now online on an open access basis at: http://www.jmmsweb.org We now also have an upgraded website and content available in Kindle editions available from Amazon.
Before I get to the Table of Contents I want to quickly tell you about another project I am starting with photographer Laki Sideris which may be of interest to you. Men and Meaning is a photographic and textual exploration of how men go about constructing meaning in their daily experiences. This meaning-making journey unfolds on two primary levels: what it means to be a man and perform masculinity, and more generally how the subjects derive meaning from the world around them. The images are a mixture of the staged and the documentary, the text a mixture of the biographical and the imagined: http://www.menandmeaning.com
