The actions of the U.S. federal administration in recent months have left higher education professionals feeling adrift and experiencing a range of emotions. What are the ways masculinities scholarship inform this moment for higher education? As many of us return to campus for the fall we wonder what we can do together to sustain ourselves professionally and personally.

At this year’s institute, participants in the foundations of men and masculinities scholarship and explore how holding joy is critical in these difficult times. This institute will center interaction and discussion. Participants will break into groups of undergraduate/graduate student/emerging scholars, staff/practitioner scholars, and researcher/faculty scholars, to discuss insights and how to create networks of support.

*Note we ask people to self select which group they would like to join based on their own definitions. We suggest that those who are in in their first years of professional journey join emerging scholars groups. We consider all participants to be scholars in their own respects and can provide contributions in various ways.
