Professor Nancy Dowd at the University of Florida is one of the most important scholars doing work in the field that has come to be called law and masculinities.
I am very pleased to announce that other scholars who work in law and masculinities have convened a workshop at the University of Florida in honor of Nancy’s recently published book, The Man Question.
Professor Martha Fineman at Emory will provide that keynote address and confirmed speakers include Professors Frank Rudy Cooper, John Kang, Ann McGinley, and Valorie Vojdik.
The event is free and all are invited. Those interested may email me at johnmkang@gmail or Professor Rachel Rebouché. The formal announcement follows.
