Moving Masculinities: Crossing Regional and Historical Borders. The
Australian National University
November 30-December 2 2005

This conference aims to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue on
masculinities across regional borders and historical epochs, attempting
to describe, understand and explain their diverse and changing forms,
with particular reference to Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific.

Some questions to be explored include:

    * How have masculinities changed and what forces have shaped
      historical transformations?
    * Are current theories of masculinity unduly influenced by European
      and American models of masculinity?
    * What are the contours of indigenous and settler masculinities in
      colonial and contemporary situations?
    * How have hegemonic masculinities been challenged by alternative or
      queer masculinities and new configurations of sexuality?
    * To what extent have localised masculinities been globalised
      through war, sport, and electronic media?

If you are interested in giving a paper, please submit a title with an
abstract of c. 300 words to the e-mail address provided below, or
Jodi.Parvey@anu.edu.au by *April 30, 2005*. We aim to review abstracts

be posted during April 2005 with further information including
registration details and costs.
