Men and Masculinities Theoretical Foundations and Promising Practices for Supporting College Men's Development

Men and Masculinities Theoretical Foundations and Promising Practices for Supporting College Men's Development

There continues to be much concern about the retention and persistent of men in college particularly Black Latinx and Native American men. In addition queer and trans* men also have found institutions to be problematic spaces. For those who do persist we know that men are overrepresented in student conduct cases and engage in risky behaviors around alcohol drug use and sexual relationships. Additionally we know that college men have historically avoided engaging in help-seeking behaviors for their academic and personal success. This book addresses the ways that theory can be put into practice for powerful transformative learning to support college men and their development. This book synthesizes the research of the past three decades on college men to inform college student educators on the developmental needs of college men and illuminates how young men are socialized prior to their arrival to campus but perhaps more importantly how the collegiate environment becomes a training ground for the socialization of masculinities by students their peers and their environments. Beyond that it sets out how practitioners can help young men understand why and how they have been socialized around their gender identity but also what their gender identity and sense of masculinity means for their future selves. The book highlights programs and services designed to have college men engage with and dialogue around issues of hegemonic toxic or unhealthy aspects of masculinity. These promising practices can offer college men opportunities to understand their power privilege and identity in ways that can be affirming and healthier leading to more life-giving chances. This is all the more important in the context of an ever-evolving society where traditionally held norms and expectations around gender-particularly masculinities-are shifting. This book equips student affairs staff faculty and administrators to better support college men’s development. It offers readers insights ideas and models for adapting and developing programs services and initiatives that may meaningfully meet the needs of specific student populations while recognizing that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to this work. | Men and Masculinities Theoretical Foundations and Promising Practices for Supporting College Men's Development

The Construction of Sexual and Cultural Identities Greek-Cypriot Men in Britain

The Construction of Sexual and Cultural Identities Greek-Cypriot Men in Britain

This title was first published in 2002: Ethnicity culture and sexual orientation are salient aspects of human identity. While diversity adds richness to the threads of our human tapestry minorities often feel vulnerable with open disclosure and retreat from exposures they fear could leave them in jeopardy. This is especially so with gay men of colour. Xenophobia homophobia and fear of HIV/AIDS combine to make our society a difficult one for gay men of colour. This book explores a broad range of culture-related topics specific to the experience of Anglo-Cypriot men resident in Britain who have sex with men. Along with empirical clinical and theoretical discussions the inclusion of personal accounts offers poignant insight into additional complexities pressures and losses that gay men of colour must cope with in a world that often handles diversity with the closed fist of bigotry. | The Construction of Sexual and Cultural Identities Greek-Cypriot Men in Britain

Women Men and Elections Policy Supply and Gendered Voting Behaviour in Western Democracies

Women Men and Elections Policy Supply and Gendered Voting Behaviour in Western Democracies

Women Men and Elections sheds new light on gendered political behaviour by analysing the relationship between policy supply and gender gaps in vote choice across elections in the United States Canada Australia New Zealand and multiple Western European countries. Rosalind Shorrocks argues that the electoral context and specifically policy supply are associated with the ways in which vote choice at election time is gendered. Using data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems and the Comparative Manifesto Project Shorrocks finds that the extent to which men and women differ in their vote choice is contingent on the policy choices that parties off er to voters. Women and men respond to party policy positions in ways that are linked to both their gender and their socioeconomic position producing variation in gendered political behaviour across elections across countries and across subgroups in society. Women Men and Elections offers a much- needed fresh perspective on our understanding of political behaviour representation and party competition. It serves as an excellent supplementary text for students and scholars of comparative politics gender and politics and political behaviour. | Women Men and Elections Policy Supply and Gendered Voting Behaviour in Western Democracies

Celibate and Childless Men in Power Ruling Eunuchs and Bishops in the Pre-Modern World

Celibate and Childless Men in Power Ruling Eunuchs and Bishops in the Pre-Modern World

This book explores a striking common feature of pre-modern ruling systems on a global scale: the participation of childless and celibate men as integral parts of the elites. In bringing court eunuchs and bishops together this collection shows that the integration of men who were normatively or physically excluded from biological fatherhood offered pre-modern dynasties the potential to use different reproduction patterns. The shared focus on ruling eunuchs and bishops also reveals that these men had a specific position at the intersection of four fields: power social dynamics sacredness and gender/masculinities. The thirteen chapters present case studies on clerics in Medieval Europe and court eunuchs in the Middle East Byzantium India and China. They analyze how these men in their different frameworks acted as politicians participated in social networks provided religious authority and discuss their masculinities. Taken together this collection sheds light on the political arena before the modern nation-state excluded these unmarried men from the circles of political power. | Celibate and Childless Men in Power Ruling Eunuchs and Bishops in the Pre-Modern World

Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men The Trauma of Sexual Abuse

Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men The Trauma of Sexual Abuse

Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men: The Trauma of Sexual Abuse is an indispensable go-to book for understanding male sexual victimization. It has become increasingly clear since the 1980s that men and boys like women and girls are sexually abused and assaulted in alarming numbers. Yet there have been few resources available to victims their loved ones or those trying to help them. Richard B. Gartner was in the vanguard of clinicians treating male sexual victimization and has written extensively about it initially in professional papers then in his landmark 1999 book for clinicians Betrayed as Boys: Psychodynamic Treatment of Sexually Abused Men continuing with his 2005 work Beyond Betrayal: Taking Charge of Your Life after Boyhood Sexual Abuse. He has been a tireless teacher clinician and advocate for male victims of sexual abuse in the classroom the lecture hall and of course the consulting room as well as in newspaper television radio and online interviews. Dr. Gartner has gathered together expert colleagues from the trauma psychoanalytic medical and survivor treatment fields. Together they have created a comprehensive guide to what was once thought to be a rarity but now is clearly an all-too-common occurrence. Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men looks at the realities of male sexual victimization guiding clinicians and lay people alike to understand the complexities of the devastation it causes in victimized boys and men. It considers topics as diverse as: sexual assault in institutions like the military sports teams schools universities and religious organizations; sex trafficking of boys and adolescents; neurobiology and brain chemistry of male survivors of sexual abuse; gender and sexual dysfunctions and confusions resulting from sexual exploitation and trauma; physicians’ treatment of sexually abused men’s medical problems; socio-cultural influences on processing and treating men’s and boys’ sexual victimization. Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men is required reading for anyone working with male victims of sexual abuse and assault at any level – psychotherapists rape counselors attorneys journalists guidance counselors physicians clergy graduate students and lawmakers – and helpful to lay people interested in this often-unrecognized problem. | Understanding the Sexual Betrayal of Boys and Men The Trauma of Sexual Abuse

Black Men in Law School Unmatched or Mismatched

Black Men in Law School Unmatched or Mismatched

Grounded in Critical Race Theory (CRT) Black Men in Law School refutes the claim that when African American law students are mismatched with more selective law schools the result is lower levels of achievement and success. Presenting personal narratives and counter-stories Jackson demonstrates the inadequacy of the mismatch theory and deconstructs the ways race is constructed within American public law schools. Calling for a replacement to mismatch theory Jackson offers an alternative theory that considers marginalized student perspectives and crystallizes the nuances and impact that historically exclusionary institutions and systems have on African American law school students. To further the debate on affirmative action this book shows that experiences and voices of African American law school students are a crucial ingredient in the debate on race and how it functions in law schools. | Black Men in Law School Unmatched or Mismatched

Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance Glass Handcuffs and Working Men in the U

Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance Glass Handcuffs and Working Men in the U

Pressure to achieve work-life balance has recently become a significant part of the cultural fabric of working life in United States. A very few privileged employees tout their ability to find balance between their careers and the rest of their lives but most employees face considerable organizational and economic constraints which hamper their ability to maintain a reasonable balance between paid work and other life aspects—and it is not only women who struggle. Increasingly men find it difficult to do it all. Women have long noted the near impossibility of balancing multiple roles but it is only recently that men have been encouraged to see themselves beyond their breadwinner selves. Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance describes the work-life practices of men in the United States. The purpose is to increase gender equality at work for all employees. With a focus on leave policy inequalities this book argues that men experience a phenomenon called the glass handcuffs which prevents them from leaving work to participate fully in their families homes and other life events highlighting the cultural institutional organizational and occupational conditions which make gender equality in work-life policy usage difficult. This social justice book ultimately draws conclusions about how to minimize inequalities at work. Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance is unique as it laces together some theoretical concepts which have little previous association including entrepreneurialism; leave policy occupational identity and the economic necessities of families. This book will therefore be of particular interest to researches and academics alike in the disciplines of Gender studies Human Resource Management Employment Relations Sociology and Cultural Studies. | Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance Glass Handcuffs and Working Men in the U

Men in the American Women’s Rights Movement 1830–1890 Cumbersome Allies

Men in the American Women’s Rights Movement 1830–1890 Cumbersome Allies

This book studies male activists in American feminism from the 1830s to the late 19th century using archival work on personal papers as well as public sources to demonstrate their diverse and often contradictory advocacy of women’s rights as important but also cumbersome allies. Focussing mainly on nine men—William Lloyd Garrison Wendell Phillips James Mott Frederick Douglass Henry B. Blackwell Stephen S. Foster Henry Ward Beecher Robert Purvis and Thomas Wentworth Higginson the book demonstrates how their interactions influenced debates within and outside the movement marriages and friendships as well as the evolution of (self-)definitions of masculinity throughout the 19th century. Re-evaluating the historical evolution of feminisms as movements for and by women as well as the meanings of identity politics before and after the Civil War this is a crucial text for the history of both American feminisms and American politics and society. This is an important scholarly intervention that would be of interest to scholars in the fields of gender history women’s history gender studies and modern American history. | Men in the American Women’s Rights Movement 1830–1890 Cumbersome Allies

Christian Mysticism’s Queer Flame Spirituality in the Lives of Contemporary Gay Men

Christian Mysticism’s Queer Flame Spirituality in the Lives of Contemporary Gay Men

Is the Christian mystical tradition a relic of another time shaped by celibates for celibates unable to engage meaningfully with people of our time who embrace their corporeality and sexuality as crucial aspects of their journey towards union with God? This book reflects in serious theological depth and detail on the spiritual and sexual journeys of gay men of mature and committed Christian faith employing the Christian mystical tradition as the lens and the interlocutor in this process. This study examines the major themes and stages of the mystical tradition as outlined by Evelyn Underhill but also including more recent work by Ruth Burrows Thomas Merton and Constance Fitzgerald. Using methods of qualitative research it then considers the texts of in-depth interviews conducted with men most of whom are theologians or spiritual leaders with a deep Catholic faith and all of whom are openly self-affirmingly gay. Finally it employs Ricoeur’s hermeneutical theory to engage in a creative theological conversation between the traditional mystical stages and themes and these men’s lives as described in their interviews. This is a unique study that brings together ancient spirituality with contemporary lived religion. As such it will be of interest to scholars of religious studies theology Christian mysticism and spirituality and queer studies. It will be of particular interest to those teach spiritual direction and to all who seek new ways to engage with the spiritual lives of LGBTIQ+ people. | Christian Mysticism’s Queer Flame Spirituality in the Lives of Contemporary Gay Men

Philosophical Foundations for the Curriculum

Philosophical Foundations for the Curriculum

In this book first published in 1978 Allen Brent sets out to explore some of the questions raised by theorists and philosophers regarding curriculum. He starts by investigating whether all knowledge is the product of social conditions of particular times or places or whether there is some kind of universal framework implicit in the claims to knowledge which men make. He looks at the work of Plato Newman Freire and Hirt and how each of them in a strikingly different way they have tried to give us an objective basis for curriculum judgements and how the validity of that basis is attacked by contemporary sociologists of knowledge. This book is aimed primarily at students who are concentrating on the philosophy of education or curriculum theory. | Philosophical Foundations for the Curriculum
