Masculinity and the Other is an interdisciplinary conference taking
place at Balliol College, University of Oxford on 29th and 30th August
2006. We hope to bring together scholars studying masculinities in a
variety of fields, including literature, history, art history, sociology
and philosopy, to explore some of the forms of 'otherness' against which
ideas of masculinity have been defined over the course of the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. By taking an interdisciplinary approach to the
question we hope to uncover a fuller and more complex picture of what,
historically, socially and culturally, it means to be a man.

Potential subjects include, but are not limited to:

*Age, maturity and life cycle *Education
*Religion and spirituality *Enemies and allies
*Heroes *Race
*Class *Imperialism
*Images of 'otherness' *Sexuality
*Employment *Misbehaviour and social control
*Brutishness and animality *Humanism

Abstract Deadline: *March 15th, 2007*

We welcome proposals for both panels and individual papers. Abstracts
should be no more than 300 words. Please ensure that a title, your name,
affiliation and email address are included with your abstract. We prefer
to receive abstracts by email: heather.ellis at balliol.ox.ac.uk,
