Description:
|
Albion College sociology professor Scott Melzer presents his new book “Manhood Impossible: Men’s Struggles to Control and Transform Their Bodies and Work” on Thursday September 27 at 4:30 p.m. in the College’s Stockwell Library Wendell Will Room.
Melzer’s book aims to answer the question: What do men do when they fall short – either physically or economically – of American manhood expectations?
Melzer joined Albion’s faculty in 2004. His teaching and research interests are in gender, social psychology, and criminology, with particular interests in intimate violence, men and masculinities, gun politics, and social change. Since the publication of his first book “Gun Crusaders: The NRA's Culture War,” Melzer has regularly served as a media expert on news related to the National Rifle Association.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Sociology Department at lwylie@albion.edu or 517/629-0414.
