In partnership with Michael Kimmel and The Center for the Study of Men & Masculinities featured a panel moderated by Marianne Schnall and Michael Kimmel with Chloe Angyal, Abigail Disney, Carlos Andrés Gómez, Don McPherson, Esta Soler, and Niobe Way, this salon, hosted at the home of Abigail Disney, asked us to think about working together to support the changing paradigm of men and women's roles, and also announced the launch of the Men & Women as Allies initiative.
The Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities The Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities was founded in 2013 at Stony Brook University — the first such center on the world dedicated to exploring men's lives and engaging men and boys for gender equality. Our mission is to foster a dialogue between researchers and activists working to engage men, and to inspire researchers to provide activists with work they need to be more effective. The Center runs seminars and develops activist-based research projects, and is planning a major conference in New York City in March, 2015.
And as always - thanks to all who joined us at the event! It was an inspiring evening and we were so happy to share it with our friends, colleagues and supporters.
