Masculinity and Militarism - Moving Beyond Stereotypes

This seminar is part of the Oslo Peace Days and brings together scholars and practitioners to discuss the following themes: What roles do varying understandings of masculinities play in men's participation and recruitment into militarized settings? How does masculinity shape the military as an institution, and how does this impact efforts to have a more inclusive military? What are the practical implications of improving our understanding of masculinities, gender equality, and the military? Opening remarks from Torunn L.
