    Toxic Masculinity

    Toxic Masculinity

    We are joined by Trenton Haltom, doctoral candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, to babble about the research and impact of toxic masculinity across the lifespan. We're taking a deep dive into how messages of masculinity are communicated, who is responsible for policing masculine norms, and even sprinkle in a little hope for change. This episode is full of research, anecdotes, and personal stories all intended to provide depth and breadth to the discussions on toxic masculinity. 

    We hope this babble helps you reconstruct your ideas of masculinity and gives you the tools to challenge others to rethink what masculinity is in our current world.
