On December 9th, the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ GPS Centre and Gender Research Group held their third workshop for the Strategic Initiative on Men and Masculinities Research at ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ. The workshop focused on masculinities and militarism, and kicked off with a public digital seminar and had ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ Global Fellow Erik Melander, ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ Senior Researcher Louise Olsson, and Lieutenant Colonel Michael Baas Bottenvik-Hartmann as panelists, with Henrik Syse as moderator.
After the seminar a small group of ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ researchers participated in a workshop to discuss the broader theme of masculinity and the military and to brainstorm new project ideas which could be of relevance for ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ. This was the final workshop of this strategic initiative, and now the group members from the project will map out the discussions and ideas from this initiative, and develop a plan of possible new project ideas going forward.
Earlier this autumn there has also been a seminar and workshop on engaging men for gender equality, and a workshop on masculinities and violent extremism.
