  3.00 Credits

  Carlow University

  
  The course is designed to invite male and female students who have a scholarly and/or personal interest in both understanding the complexity of the subject and considering implications for positive changes in areas where males struggle. The class explores constructs of masculinity in the U.S. using an intersectional approach, which assumes that there are multiple masculinities that intersect with race, class, ableism, sexuality and gender identity. Masculinity is a powerful vehicle that motivates the behavior of boys and men, and if it is redefined and constructed as responsibility for others (and not domination) the impacts can be tremendous
