This event launches the Routledge Handbook of Masculinities, Conflict, and Peacebuilding, which engages with and broadens current debates on men and masculinities in conflict and peacebuilding, shattering prevailing assumptions about men’s relationship to conflict and its wake.
The handbook combines feminist, intersectional, relational, decolonial, and queer perspectives on the conceptualisation of masculinities in conflict and peacebuilding. This approach provides us with the tools to go beyond direct, physical, conflict-related violence to examine less visible forms of violence and power as well as other ways in which masculinities interact with conflict and peace.
After a brief introduction from two of the volume's editors, Henri Myrttinen and Chloé Lewis, Chloé will present her chapter 'Faithing’ Masculinities in Conflict - Engaging faith leaders and communities to prevent sexual and gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo', Henri will present his chapter 'Passing as a ‘Hard Man’: Regulating everyday queer (in)visibilities in the Syrian conflict', and Sara de Jong will present her chapter 'Invisible Men: The injured lives of Afghan interpreters'.
