In this session, sociologist Jeff Hearn, anthropologist Matthew Gutmann and gender expert Begonya Enguix will reflect on the meaning and the social weight of masculinity at a time characterized by the consolidation of gender discourses.

In recent years, the consolidation of gender discourses that question the hetero-patriarchal model has revealed different critical views on the idea of masculinity that seek to break with the meanings traditionally attributed to the male gender and spark a debate on masculinity and what it means to be a man. In this session, Jeff Hearn and Matthew Gutmann, two internationally renowned voices with long careers in activism and research tied to issues of gender, will delve into the multiple facets of manhood and address the challenges that the critical study of masculinity raises today.

This session is part of the opening day of the 5th international conference Men in Movement, a gathering that aims to offer a space for dialogue between academics and activists. 

This session will be held in English, with a simultaneous translation to Catalan.
