A part of Gender Forums event series

The third session of the series will focus on Masculinities across Cultural Contexts and will bring together Alice Haylett Bryan (School of History), Irene Fernández Ramos (School of the Arts) and Joe Strong (School of Politics and International Relations). Dr Haylett Bryan is a Lecturer in Film History, and her current research looks at sexual rights and American horror media from the 1960s onwards. Dr Fernández Ramos has recently joined the Digital Al-Andalus project and works on hypermasculinities and nostalgia. Dr Strong is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow and his research centres around sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice and the role of gender, power, and masculinities.

Their conversation will be chaired by Nick Munn (PGR, School of History) whose PhD project focuses on applying gender theory- especially theories of masculinity - as a means of exploring new ways of understanding Venetian politics in the fifteenth century.

Everybody is welcome and lunch will be provided!
