Masculinity, Backlash and Antifeminism - Dr Lucy Nicholas In-Person / Online
How can we understand the resurgence of masculinism in Australia and elsewhere?
How can we challenge antifeminism and the increase in misogyny?
Lucy Nicholas will discuss the changes in contemporary masculinity and the worrying public resurgence of reactionary misogyny, especially online, and how we can use academic ideas to make sense of them. They will consider the emotional and ideological drivers of these ideas, some of the impacts they have, and how they may be challenged.
With a diverse academic background, Dr Nicholas received their PhD from the University of Edinburgh before embarking on a career that has taken them from the University of Portsmouth to their current position in Australia. Throughout their journey, they have demonstrated a passion for teaching, covering a wide range of subjects including sociology, social and political theory, gender and sexualities, and academic skills.
Dr Nicholas is the author of two influential books and their first book, “Queer Post-Gender Ethics,” published by Palgrave McMillan in 2014, explores the intersections of gender, sexuality, and ethics. Their second book, “The Persistence of Global Masculinism,” co-authored with Chris Agius, was published in 2018, shedding light on the complex dynamics of masculinity in a global context.
Lucy is currently working on two streams of research: one on sexuality and gender diversity, and one on men, masculinity, and violence prevention. With their expertise and commitment to advancing knowledge in gender and sexuality studies, Dr Lucy Nicholas continues to make significant contributions to academia and beyond.
