Inside “Masculinities”: A Free Online Journal

Does Masculinities studies sound strange to you? As a feminist I think it’s important that I see not only women as victims of patriarchy but men as well. Masculinities studies aim to examine the latter and so much more.

There is a new journal covering work in Masculinity studies. You can visit the PDF version of the Journal of Masculinities Studies HERE

Here is some info below.

From the very onset of its establishment, critical studies of men and masculinities aimed to investigate “men” and “masculinities” as primary agents and beneficiaries of patriarchy, criticising the roles of men and masculinities that construct socially and culturally disadvantaged positions for women and LGBTQs, and focus on a vast array of issues, including (but not limited to) identities, experiences, subjectivities, discourses, representations, sexualities, bodies, power, emotions, politics, cultures, social relations, intimacies, socializations, childhood, youth, fatherhood, elderliness, families, violences, literature, films, media, and so on and so forth.

Welcome to the first issue of Masculinities Journal, the very first offspring of our humble efforts. Masculinities Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal and it aims to become an essential source for scholars, researchers, activists and anyone who wish to follow contemporary debates in critical studies on men and masculinities. We are planning to provide a critical platform to bring together critical discussions on men and masculinities from a wide range of disciplines in social sciences and humanities. We hope that the journal may establish and maintain an academic standard and it will be recognized as one of the leading journals on men and masculinities in the shortest time possible.
