Men, Rights and Justice

Five sessions | Fifteen contact hours
About the short course
This discussion-based course will provide a
foundation of critical thought on men and masculinity
by addressing the following questions:
— How do concerns of equality, rights, and social
justice relate to men?
— What issues do men face in regard to fatherhood,
being young, and being in a relationship?
— What social norms exist for men (and how were
they developed?) in the areas of family, school, work,
health, sports, politics, spirituality, and the media?
— What significance does history, culture, and the
economy have upon men and masculinity?
—How do race, class, gender, ability, sexuality,
nationality, and age impact notions and expectations
of 'manhood' and masculinity?
— What role does marginalization, discrimination,
oppression, crime, and violence play in the lives of
men?
Or, if you just happen to be curious and like to
hear diverse thoughts — this course will be
intriguing.
It will also be particularly interesting for anyone
anyone who considers their role as a father,
husband, boyfriend, son, or a brother to be
important.
And more specifically, it will appeal to men
preparing to take future university courses, enter
the workforce, or travel abroad, as well as anyone
working in the prison system, policing and
security, with male survivors of Child Sexual
Assault and incest, or who are simply struggling
for justice in general.
Importantly, it is open to all people regardless of
race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age, belief
system, and nationality. All are welcome.
Why should I take this course?
If you would like to share your opinions on issues
of men and masculinity, as well as listen to those
of others then this will be a fun class for you to
take.
