This talk will explore the growing global movement to engage boys and men in feminism and gender justice. Drawing on a decade of experience designing, teaching, and researching men’s violence prevention education programs in the US, UK, Australia, and Germany, Dr William McInerney will discuss the benefits, challenges, and risks of this work by examining three key questions: Can men be feminists? Historically, have men been feminists? And practically, what does research show works best when trying to engage men in feminism?
