From adolescence to adulthood, friends are a crucial factor throughout our lives. As we are in community with each other, we not only learn valuable information about ourselves, but we also gain important perspectives about the world through our friendships. The New York Times’ recently published article “Where Have All of My Deep Male Friendships Gone?” poses the question of what is essential to the development of male friendships.

The Coalitions for Men & Masculinities, Women’s Identities, and Sexuality & Gender Identities have partnered together to bring you a dynamic discussion and conversation around vulnerability, development of men’s friendship, and men’s socialization. Join us for a conversation facilitated by Dr. Cameron Beatty, Associate Professor and Associate Department Chair for Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at Florida State University, as we start with the exploration of men’s socialization, and then dive into rich dialogue around men’s friendship and vulnerability through an intersectional lens.

This webinar is presented in partnership by ACPA’s Coalition on Men & Masculinities (CMM), Coalition for Sexuality & Gender Identities (CSGI), and Coalition for Women’s Identities (CWI).
