Masculinities in a Global Era extends the conversation of masculinity studies by analyzing global masculinities from a psychological perspective. Canvassing a broad array of psychological aspects such as the construction of identity, the negotiation of power, coping with trauma, and sexuality, this volume shows how masculinities are experienced,
performed and embodied in geographically dispersed communities. Importantly, Masculinities in a Global Era fulfills a much-needed but elusive need within the study of masculinities: a forum in which the often polarized approaches of pro-feminists and men’s rights advocates can begin to move beyond their entrenched historical positions towards a more fruitful and nuanced future.

Dr Joseph Gelfer is a masculinities researcher at Monash University, Australia. He is author of Numen, Old Men: Contemporary Masculine Spiritualities and the Problem of Patriarchy (Equinox Publishing, 2009) and editor of 2012: Decoding the Countercultural Apocalypse (Equinox Publishing, 2011). He is also founding and current editor of Journal of Men, Masculinities and Spirituality, an open access journal available at www.jmmsweb.org, and The Best of Journal of Men, Masculinities and Spirituality (Gorgias Press, 2010).
