QueerX Event: Men, Masks, & Toxic Masculinities
April 27, 12-1:00 pm, 41 Appleby Hall
Join us for a QueerX series event featuring Ahmad Qais Munhazim! This event will bring up some complex ideas relating to masculinity and how it is performed.
How are masculinities performed? At what point does masculinity become toxic? Why can't some men be vulnerable? What does masc4masc mean? How are race, class and gender related to masculinities? Through interactive activities, dialogues and props, this event will try to answer some of these questions.
