Abstract

Abstract: What stakes do women's centers have in doing work that focuses on masculinity? Women's centers play an essential role in helping to understand, identify, and deconstruct masculinities. Through the lens of gender equity, this chapter examines how center staff members and other professionals can provide frameworks and language that influence campus climate. The authors interrogate the ways in which staff members can aid in shifting how the community relates to the constructs of masculinities within the context of social oppression.
