Re-Envisioning Masculinity
@ Oak Park Public Library
834 Lake St, Oak Park, IL 60301
Opening Monday, October 28th, from 6PM - 8PM
I am happy to host an event entitled Re-Envisioning Masculinity: An Interactive Workshop and Conversation on Toxic Masculinity at Oak Park Public Library.
Description:
Through mini-presentations, critical dialogues, and video clips, we will examine the following issues:
I. What is toxic masculinity?
II. Why is it important to examine it under the current sociopolitical climate?
III. Where does it all start and how does it manifest itself?
IV. How does it affect all of us?
V. How can individual and collective changes take place?
