Men, Masculinities and Social Theory

This series aims to promote critical studies, by women and men, on men
and masculinities. It brings together scholarship that deals in detail with the
social and political construction of particular aspects of men and
masculinities. This will include studies of the changing forms of men and
masculinities, as well as broader historical and comparative studies.
Furthermore, because men have been dominant in the writing of social
science and production of malestream theory, one area of special interest for
critical assessment is the relationship of men and masculinities to social
science itself. This applies to both the content and ‘results’ of previous
social research, and to the understanding of social theory in all its various
guises – epistemology, ideology, methodology, and so forth.
