This book uses comparative perspectives to explore diverse educational and related approaches toward developing forms of masculinity that offer more to the lives of women, children, and men themselves. Such developments are sought in the context of global societies that, taken as a whole, are characterized by widespread gendered and other intersecting dimensions of oppression. These developments are also occurring in response to contemporary gendered and other social challenges, many of which are related to the globalizing processes and include: • developing formations of femininities and masculinities; • changes in men’s attitudes and/or behaviors regarding work, including caring work, in the home and in the labor market; • transformations in conceptualizations and practices of parenting, for instance, relating to “lone parenthood” and lesbian, gay, and trans-parenting; • racializing practices in communities and societies; • changing patterns and forms of men’s sexualities and violence.

Abstract

This book uses comparative perspectives to explore diverse educational and related approaches toward developing forms of masculinity that offer more to the lives of women, children, and men themselves. Such developments are sought in the context of global societies that, taken as a whole, are characterized by widespread gendered and other intersecting dimensions of oppression. These developments are also occurring in response to contemporary gendered and other social challenges, many of which are related to the globalizing processes and include: • developing formations of femininities and masculinities; • changes in men’s attitudes and/or behaviors regarding work, including caring work, in the home and in the labor market; • transformations in conceptualizations and practices of parenting, for instance, relating to “lone parenthood” and lesbian, gay, and trans-parenting; • racializing practices in communities and societies; • changing patterns and forms of men’s sexualities and violence.
