Nordic Conference on Men and Masculinities
EXPERIENCES OF MEN
- Masculinities and Bodies

5-7 May, 2006 Turku/Г…bo, Finland

Abstract Deadline: 15 February 2006
Registration Deadline: 27 March 2006
Deadline for Papers: 10 April 2006

The conference theme Experiences of Men refers both to
men's
experiences in different fields of life and
experiences of men and women, including researchers,
in their encounters with men and the norms of
masculinities. How do men and women as active agents
interpret and respond to the norms of masculinity that
surround them? A variety from extreme to everyday
experiences will be discussed in the lectures, panels
and workshops, including themes such as men's health,
men of different ages, power and emotion in
organisations, men's experiences of love, friendship
and intimacy and cultural representations of male
embodiment.

The concepts of experience and masculinity or
masculinities are located in a field of tension
between modernist and poststructuralist thinking,
which shall be explored in the
conference. Experiences of research on men bring forth
the
epistemologies and methodological challenges of the
field. Are there specific methods in men's studies?
Are they needed and why? Are some method(ologie)s more
useful than others in grasping experiences? How much
can be captured in verbal accounts?

The conference language is primarily English, but
individual sessions may be organised in the
Scandinavian languages. Submissions of individual
papers in English and the Scandinavian languages are
accepted, but participants are encouraged to accept
presentation in English should that turn out to be the
language of
their panel.

Keynote speakers include, among others, PhD Fidelma
Ashe from
University of Ulster and PhD Marie Nordberg from
Karlstad University and Gothenburg University.

The amount of conference participants is limited to ca
100.

Organisers: NIKK, Nordiska institutet fГ¶r kvinno- och

vid Г…bo Akademi (Turku)
