Masculinity, Backlash and Antifeminism - Dr Lucy Nicholas
From: Emma Boddington
Valid from: Friday 24 May 2024 to Tuesday 28 May 2024
How can we understand the resurgence of masculinism in Australia and elsewhere?
How can we challenge antifeminism and the increase in misogyny?
Dr Lucy Nicholas will discuss the changes in contemporary masculinity and the worrying public resurgence of reactionary misogyny, especially online, and how we can use academic ideas to make sense of them. Dr Nicholas will explore the emotional and ideological drivers of these ideas, some of the impacts they have, and how they may be challenged.
Lucy is currently working on two streams of research: one on sexuality and gender diversity, and one on men, masculinity, and violence prevention. With their expertise and commitment to advancing knowledge in gender and sexuality studies, Dr Lucy Nicholas continues to make significant contributions to academia and beyond.
Location: Parramatta City campus, Peter Shergold Building, Level 9, Conference room 2 or online via Zoom
