Family science has largely overlooked masculinities — until now. A @ncfr.bsky.social special issue brings 18 articles challenging how masculinities are understood, theorized, and studied within families, from an intersectional and critically reflexive lens. Read the issue: bit.ly/4uzMLax
Cover of the "Journal of Family Theory & Review" with abstract blue patterns. Text reads: "Special Issue: Critical Masculinities: Theoretical Advances on Gender in Families."
