The Men's Studies in Religion group provides a forum within which the phenomenon of masculine gendered identity is examined using the range of methodologies found in the broad fields of theology and religious studies. Men's Studies in Religion engages in the study of men's ways of being, behaving, and believing through a critical examination of both hegemonic (dominant and dominating) and non-hegemonic (marginalized) forms of masculinity. Emerging from, and pairing with, the liberative and critical gender discourses found in feminist, gay, and queer studies, this area of intellectual concentration focuses on the phenomenon of men qua men and its impact on the religious and theological terrain. The group calls men to greater self-awareness and critical self-reflection regarding their own identies as people and scholars.
