Description
While research on the roles of militarised masculinities as well as on the impacts of armed conflict and peacebuilding on women and girls have attracted growing interest in the past decades, civilian masculinities in conflict and peace have been few and far between. Bringing together authors of a recent (March 2025) publication on the impacts of conflict, displacement and peacebuilding on civilian masculinities, the roundtable will discuss how masculinities are both shaped by and shape these processes. The contributions underscore the need to examine these masculinities by going beyond simplistic narratives, as well as recognise the continuing global reverberations of racialised colonial structures, of militarism and occupation, and of heteronormative patriarchy.
