Now and Men

Now and Men

by

What’s it like to be a man in the 21st century? How are feminist issues relevant to men and boys? How can we engage in productive conversations about gender equality? These questions are being discussed more than ever. Our monthly podcast delves into these issues with experts such as practitioners, activists and academics. In each episode, you’ll hear in-depth conversations about a wide-range of topics connected to masculinity and the lives of men and boys, such as preventing gender-based violence, promoting active fatherhood, and supporting men’s health. The podcast is hosted by two social science researchers, based on the opposite sides of the world: Sandy Ruxton from Durham University’s Centre for Research into Violence and Abuse (UK) and Dr Stephen Burrell from the University of Melbourne (Australia).
