PSY-3270: Constructions of Masculinity in America How is masculinity constructed? This course will explore the intersectionality of aspects of American culture – particularly, race, ethnicity, religion, immigration, sexual orientation/identity, and socio-economic status – and how they contribute to the inextricably linked definitions, practices and discourses of masculinity in America. Explorations of these themes of American culture will make visible how current views and practices of masculinity have been fortified in myriad aspects of our lives. As each class session will be dedicated to illuminating a particular theme in American culture, students will learn that particular theme’s (1) influences on the constructions of masculinity, (2) effects on the development of masculinity discourses within various populations, and (3) potential to imagine more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable versions of masculinity in America than are currently and practiced. An interactive class format will be utilized, including critique of all assigned readings, film and video screenings, large and small group discussion, self-reflective written assignments, and oral/visual final presentations.

Special attention will be paid to systemic barriers for BIPOC, neurodiverse, LGBTQ and trauma affected populations. Students will gain a basic understanding of rights and protections of offenders while in custody, and the unique needs of this population.
