Young Working Class Men in Transition uses a unique blend of concepts from the sociologies of youth and masculinity combined with Bourdieusian social theory to investigate British young working-class men’s transition to adulthood. Indeed, utilising data from biographical interviews as well as an ethnographic observation of social media activity, this volume provides novel insights by following young men across a seven-year time period. Against the grain of prominent popular discourses that position young working-class men as in ‘crisis’ or as adhering to negative forms of traditional masculinity, this book consequently documents subtle yet positive shifts in the performance of masculinity among this generation.Underpinned by a commitment to a much more expansive array of emotionality than has previously been revealed in such studies, young men are shown to be engaged in school, open to so called ‘women’s work’ in the service sector, and committed to relatively egalitarian divisions of labour in the family home. Despite this, class inequalities inflect their transition to adulthood with the ‘toxicity’ of neoliberalism - rather than toxic masculinity - being core to this reality.Problematising how working-class masculinity is often represented, Young Working Class Men in Transition both demonstrates and challenges the portrayal of working class masculinity as a repository of homophobia, sexism and anti-feminine acting. It will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as youth studies, masculinity studies, gender studies, sociology of education and sociology of work. - Häftad, Engelska, 2003

This book confronts an escalating crisis unfolding in Australian schools: the influence of manosphere-aggravated misogyny and the everyday gendered violences it produces. Drawing on interviews and testimonies from over 130 teachers, it examines the legacy of the profound harms caused by Andrew Tate, and the ways that other manosphere groups and ideologies are shaping boys' attitudes and behaviour towards women in schools.The book argues that manosphere ideologies, amplified by powerful platform algorithms and galvanised by wider political shifts towards far-right populism and grievance-based politics, are contributing to misogynist radicalisation, increasingly surfacing in classrooms in boys' hostility towards gender equality, profound sexist behaviours and strengthened commitments to the idea of 'male supremacy.' Part I maps this terrain, centring teachers' accounts that show how misogynistic narratives take hold, how they reanimate long-standing patterns of sexism in schools and how institutions themselves often minimise or dismiss women educators' experiences. Part II turns to solutions, offering practical, research-informed guidance for teachers, leaders and policymakers seeking to build safer school environments and enable effective violence prevention work to take place. It provides strategies for whole-school change along with complementary pedagogical tools, while grappling with the structural barriers that hinder progress towards just outcomes.Accessible yet deeply grounded in data and theoretical analysis, Schooling Misogyny is both a diagnosis and a call to action-an essential resource for anyone committed to addressing and preventing gender-based violence and creating more transformative educational futures. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

This book addresses the recent marginalisation of class theory in youth sociology. The authors argue for the importance of reinstating class analysis as central to understanding young people’s lives in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Their analysis recognises that in periods of social change, class relationships and processes can and do get reconfigured, but by drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, they show that class, while being dynamic, remains core to shaping the everyday lives of young people.Students and scholars across a range of areas including the sociology of youth, sociology of education, social work and social policy will find this book of interest. - E-bokEngelska, 2017

It clarifies key definitions and examines influential factors such as race, age, and occupation. Introductory chapters provide significant foundational scope for research on the sociology of gender. Following this, a diverse array of contributors present insights into important and emerging concepts such as femininities, masculinities, intersex identities, sexuality, and transnational feminisms. Within the Research Handbook, gender is explored on multiple levels, from individual to institutional, and it ultimately paints a comprehensive picture of the sociology of gender that crosses continents and develops an inclusive perspective. This Research Handbook is beneficial to students of sociology and social policy, as well as those studying gender within other disciplines such as business and management. Researchers and academics looking for contemporary analyses will also find this to be an important resource. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2024
