Critical Praxis of College Men and Masculinities. Experiences at the Intersections - Keenan Colquitt Jr;Mark Carbonara

Critical Praxis of College Men and Masculinities: Experiences at the Intersections challenges long-standing assumptions about college men by moving beyond the dominant narrative that treats them as a monolithic group.

Critical Praxis of College Men and Masculinities: Experiences at the Intersections challenges long-standing assumptions about college men by moving beyond the dominant narrative that treats them as a monolithic group. For nearly four decades, scholarship and practice have largely centered on engaging straight, White, cisgender men in conversations about gender identity and privilege. While these efforts have been valuable, they often overlook the complex realities faced by college men with intersecting marginalized identities.

As student populations grow increasingly diverse, educators and scholars must adopt critical frameworks that foreground systems of oppression and recognize the nuanced experiences of all college men. This book offers a timely and transformative contribution to the field by bridging critical theory, educational practice, and empirical research. It highlights the importance of understanding how race, class, sexuality, ability, and other social identities intersect with gender to shape the lived experiences of college men. Drawing on recent studies, successful initiatives, and praxis-based approaches, this book equips readers with tools to support and engage college men in more inclusive and equity-driven ways.

Grounded in critical theories, Critical Praxis of College Men and Masculinities invites educators, researchers, and practitioners to rethink how masculinities are constructed and supported in higher education. Through this exploration, the book aims to foster more just, diverse, and inclusive environments for all students.
