> Culture, Society and Masculinities (CS&M) is a new peer reviewed
> journal to be launched Spring 2009 (ISSN print: 1941-5583 – ISSN
> online 1941-5591).
>
> The journal envisions bringing together synoptic as well as
> "micrographic" ideas and views on men/boys, masculinity and genders.
> It will provide a forum for emergent explorations of masculinity/ies,
> specifically those that situate local (micro-ethnographic) findings
> and theories in broader historical, political and/or sociological
> frameworks.
>
> Important themes, for instance, include the overarching relevance of
> South/North, East/West and local/global relations, as well as the
> Anglo-American hegemony in theory building around themes of
> masculinity/gender. We are especially inviting comparative views and
> work that rethinks, elaborates or critiques existing ideas and
> concepts of locality, globalization and regionalization in/of gender
> studies, both as a subject area and as a field of academic and
> political performance.
>
> Priority is given to reviews and critical discussions in theory
> development, policy trends and/or area studies. Pertinent fields of
> research include but are not limited to
>
> • ethnic, cross-cultural and trans-cultural studies
> • globalization studies, migration studies, and tourism studies
> • cultural, social, historical, comparative and philosophical  
> anthropology
> • cultural psychology
> • culture & health studies
> • postcolonial studies
> • international relations and conflict studies
> • gender policy studies
> • social/human geography
> • international media studies; and
> • (art) historical studies.
>
> Manuscripts, review essays and book reports are currently being
> solicited for the second issue, to be published in Fall 2009. CS&M is
> published semi-annually, in print and digital format, by the Men's
> Studies Press. The primary language will be English.
