The Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture at Hamilton College has announced "Masculinities" as its theme for the 2002-03 academic year. The series will begin on Thursday, Sept. 5, with a panel discussion, "What Makes a Man?: Intellectual Investigations into Manhood, Masculinities and Men," at 4 p.m. in the Fillius Events Barn. The discussion is free and open to the public.
Hamilton faculty Marianne Janack (philosophy), Dana Luciano (English), Kris Paap (sociology), Gil Whiting (education and Africana studies), will talk about the ways in which their research, perspectives and disciplines highlights the meanings of masculinities, as well as how studying masculinities can inform larger projects for social change. It will be followed by a reception in the lobby at 5:15 p.m.
