Men and Masculinities seeks empirical and theoretical articles, written for a multidisciplinary audience, that explore issues in masculinities. Topics of particular interest include

• constructions of masculinities
• male/female relationships
• sexual behavior or sexual identities
• representations of gender
• diversity amoung men and intersections of race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, class, and masculinities

The journal subscribes to principles of non-sexist, non-heterosexist, and non-racist publishing, and the editors are also committed to publishing significant empirical work that challenges conventional wisdoms. Book reviews and essays are also welcome.
