The course will be entirely thematic. Likely topics include: military masculinity, Russian masculinities, masculinity and medicine, ancient classical masculinities, Mexican masculinities, masculinity and homosexuality, masculine femininities, imperial masculinities, Victorian manliness, fatherhood as masculinity, African-American masculinities, masculinity and sport, Japanese masculinities, masculinity and social class, religious masculinities, fascist masculinity, and futuristic masculinities. Students are welcome regardless of their university department and may write either a historiographical or original research essay for the course.
