APRIL 29TH HANDOUT – DUE MAY 8th, 2008:

Fill the front and back of the handout with visioning and solutions.

ENVISIONING A NEW MASCULINITY

At the end of this book we will spend some time envisioning what our community looks like when the men and women both embrace a version of masculinity that hooks attempts to describe in this text. What does childhood look like, what do the school years look like, what does our media look like, what does adulthood look like, etc. As you read the text, begin translating hooks’ ideas/theories into everyday practices.
