Re-thinking Masculinity with Rowdy Duncan 

FRANK Talks - Community Conversations

Please join us for a Virtual Community Conversation hosted by Coolidge Library and sponsored by Arizona Humanities and Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.

Masculinity is generally defined as “the qualities — habits and traits that society considers to be appropriate for a man.” So then what’s the buzz about “toxic” masculinity? Are all parts of masculinity bad? Are there good parts of masculinity? What are some notions of masculinity that have changed in the past – how did they change – why did they change? Big boys don’t cry. Real men don’t eat quiche. Boys will be boys. Don’t be a sissy. Man-up. How might we rethink the role of masculinity in a changing world? Participants will explore these questions in a unique, interactive program that will improve their communication skills, facilitate learning, and help them navigate gender differences at work and at home.
