Nathan sits down with the incomparable Raewyn Connell to discuss a career shaping the academic study of masculinities. They explore the concept of hegemonic masculinity, its role in sport studies, and how it has changed over time; developments in the world of women's sport; trans exclusion policies; threats facing gender studies and the academy at large; and much more.
Raewyn Connell is Professor Emerita at the University of Sydney and author of the selected and incredibly abridged list of books Gender and Power (1987) Masculinities (originally published in 1993), The Men and the Boys (2000), Gender (2009), and, in 2023 with University of Melbourne Press, Research, Politics, and Social Change–among an exceptionally long list of other books and articles that have literally shaped so much of the academy as we know it.
