In four block panels (a schedule will be provided in the first meeting) the seminar includes literature theorizing masculinities and discussing their practical impact. In further reflections (individually, in small-group discussions and in text presentations), the discussions focus on parenting, (gender) segmentation at the labour market, (gendered) peer-groups and their social relevance, as well as health behaviour (discussing so-called "toxic masculinities").
