Conference: "Men and Masculinities in Transition"

We are happy to announce that the next Nordic conference on masculinity research will take place at Stockholm University, Sweden on June 11-13, 2025.

The conference theme is Men and Masculinities in Transition. The conference focuses on men, masculinity and transitions in a wide sense, including but not limited to: transitions across the life course, climate change and green transitions, transitions to more caring and inclusive masculinities, transitions across gender identities, theoretical and methodological transitions in research men and masculinities, as well as other social, political and personal transitions relevant to masculinity studies.

We also welcome other contributions to contemporary masculinity research.

The conference is hosted by The Department of Child and Youth Studies and the Gender Academy at Stockholm University, in collaboration with Nordic Association for Research on Men and Masculinity (NORMAS). The aim is to create a space for Nordic and international dialogue on contemporary masculinity research.

Welcome to Stockholm in June 2025!
