Edinburgh Studies on Masculinities in Global Politics

Offers interdisciplinary and intersectional perspectives on how masculinities shape and are shaped by global political processes

  • Foregrounds critical masculinities perspectives in debates about gender, politics and society
  • Advances conventional understandings of gender in politics
  • Informed by (queer-)feminist, intersectional and decolonial perspectives
  • Analyses how masculinities produce and are (re)produced by global political processes and practice
  • Broadens the conceptual scope of conventional approaches to masculinities by including caring and non-violent civilian masculinities alongside explorations of violent, militarised and vulnerable masculinities

Taking a genuinely global approach, the series enables analyses and explorations of masculinities in diverse settings across the world, particularly encouraging and supporting submissions from scholars in/of the Global South, including early career scholars. It brings together interdisciplinary insights and methodologies from across the arts, humanities and social sciences, including, amongst others, political science and international relations, sociology, anthropology, history or indigenous philosophy.
