Description
To mark International Men's Day 2022 we are proud to present a selection of current research from UWE Bristol staff and doctoral students that focus on men and masculinities. We're also delighted to welcome writer, journalist, and Chair of Men and Boys Coalition Ally Fogg to open this event.
Talks will cover education, work, physical and mental health, sexuality, appearance, crime, and sociological constructs of masculinity. This event is open to all – you don't need to be an academic to attend!
