Healthy Masculinities Week Project
Introduction/Abstract
For both fraternity spaces and athletic spaces, exploration of diverse hegemonic masculinities is not a heavily promoted goal. Any broadening of the understanding of masculinity is an incidental consequence of a male-only space. Rather, without intentional programming, these spaces instead serve to police gendered identities and can create a more hostile environment of unspoken expectations and assumptions.
