In this workshop, we will reflect on stereotypes of masculinity and trauma associated with ‘men’ in our lives and reflect how this interacts with the overarching topic of toxic masculinity and climate destruction. Which of the identified stereotypes contradict with the principles of degrowth and what changes in our understanding of masculinity are needed to address its destructive nature?

About series Resistance to Change

How do toxic masculinity, farmer protests, and the fossil fuel industry interconnect? In our sometimes rapidly changing world, we are faced with multiple crises, yet there are often structures and institutions that resist necessary changes. Over the course of three evenings, we will delve into various aspects of resistance to change, drawing insights from different disciplinary perspectives. From exploring the concept of masculinity to examining delay tactics and the resistance within the agri-food sector, join us as we uncover some of the complexities of resistance to direly needed change in our society.
