What does it mean to be a man? How does "manning up" have consequences for men and women? How and why do men control the majority of world's resources and institutions? Is any of this changing? This course seeks to answer these questions through an introduction to the sociology of masculinity. While the majority of scholarship in gender has focused on women, this course will critically interrogate masculinity and the location of men within the gender order.
