Working Session: Men, Masculinities, and Violence
Organizers: Aletta Biersack, Margaret Jolly, Martha Macintyre

“Masculinities” was convened as a working session on February 11th. Six papers were given, and there was one formal discussion. Several who had submitted an abstract did not come to the Portland ASAO Meeting, and these are being canvassed to see whether they expect to participate next year. In addition, five others indicated at the February 11th session that they would give a paper next year, and a sixth has since identified himself by email. The organizers feel that, since not all who submitted an abstract were able to participate in the Portland meeting and a significant number of others will be joining us for the first time in 2013, we should have another working session in 2013.
