Please Join us for the ALVSCE Perspectives on Diversity & Inclusion Series

Intergenerational Relationships and Men's Role in Promoting Change

Thursday, November 19th | 12:00pm - 1:00pm | ZOOM Only





In recent years, the topic of men's roles as allies in larger struggles for safety and justice has gained prominence. From #metoo to other political and public crises related to violence and inequality, scholars and advocates have increasingly called on men to tend to their important role in promoting healthier social and political norms. While many discussions of masculinity, healthy or toxic, focus on socialization as a determining factor, less practical work has focused on the critical role that intergenerational relationships play in leading to meaningful change amongst this demographic. This workshop will explore men's role in changing conditions of violence and inequality in our communities, with a special focus on the role of multigenerational relationships in creating change.
