This is a guide for your GWS 220: Men, Masculinities, and Patriarchy course at California State University Northridge.
According to your GWS 220 course syllabus your course "Uses an interdisciplinary approach (Social Sciences and Humanities) to address the various ways in which “men” are also ‘gendered’ and need to be the subject of inquiries of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, inequality, and privilege. It examines popular cultural contexts, asking what it means to be a man in contemporary society. The major themes that we will explore are: patriarchy, the “social construction” of gender; gender role stereotypes; power; violence; masculinity and its intersection with race and racism, masculinities in the media; “men” in family life; masculinities and sports; masculinities and work life; “men’s” movements; masculinities in different historical and cultural contexts; and the concept of hegemonic (normative) versus marginalized masculinities."
