Presented by: Dr. Amanda Jo Hobson | Event Description: From the sleep-deprived Mr. Incredible becoming the primary caregiver to super-children and supporting his wife’s career to masked bounty hunter learning to focus on empathy and building a found family with a Force-powered infant in a floating basinet and on to Sea Shanty signing TikTokers building harmonies with strangers, contemporary popular culture models demonstrate the expansion of possible masculinities, while creating compelling stories that begin to dismantle stereotypes. By establishing representations of men that center relationality, these mediated masculinities can offer critiques of the dominant, limiting, and toxic pattern of masculinity. This conversation will explore the constructions of masculinities and the impact of those images on individual gendered experiences, offering participants the opportunity to evaluate masculine gendered norms. |Centering: OWU Fraternity Members; All are welcome.
