Exploring the making of crypto-masculinity in an era of decentralized money in Thailand
This article explores how Thai men construct and perform masculine identities through cryptocurrency trading, using the concept of crypto-masculinity to examine how digital finance becomes a site for gendered self-making. While existing scholarship on masculinity in financial contexts often centers on transnational business masculinities in Western corporate settings, little attention has been paid to how masculinity is enacted in decentralized, …
Managing the business of sex
The increased popularity of swinger clubs across the UK in the past two decades has not been met with commensurate public health initiatives or interventions that engage with the relationship between swinger clubs and sexual health. Consequently, the responsibility for sexual health promotion within these establishments largely depends on the discretion of club managers. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with 10 managers from across…
Becoming pornographic, being ethnographic
Sex Clubs in the UK
Current research has suggested that sex, sexual practices and sexual identities are increasingly being folded into people’s leisure and recreational activities. One area that has witnessed growing popularity has been sex clubs that market themselves as places that enable heterosexual casual, anonymous sexual encounters. Traditionally called swingers’ clubs, these are not strip clubs, lap dancing clubs or brothels, we have very little information …
State containment and closure of gendered possibilities among a millennial generation
Within a British context, the South Asian Muslim community is currently a significant media spectacle with a millennial generation of British-born young men inhabiting public personae that officially are perceived as being a 'suspect community'. An epistemological assumption of this perception appears to be that religion is the dominant and exclusive social category shaping their behaviour. Using qualitative research that synthesizes postcolonial…
Ethnography, methodological autonomy and self-representational space
Within British schools over the last few decades, we have witnessed a policy move from multi-culturalism to counter-radicalization. In response, this article examines an ethnographic project that illustrates both the relative autonomy of methodology from broader theoretical and substantive questions, as well as the internal creative logic of methodology grounded in the research process. Importantly, the research participants claimed, in contrast …
The British State’s production of the Muslim School
Recently, national populist politics has been translated with the emergence of two overlapping narratives of Islamophobia and anti‐EU immigration media discourses. Such discourses have been made highly visible in the increased spike in hate crimes that have been a hidden cost of the national(ist) debate about Britain leaving the European Union (Brexit). This is the context in which we can trace a remarkable shift in the state representation of th…
‘Leaving masculinity at the car door’
This article provides an insight into the sexual world of ‘dogging’; that of anonymous sex between men, and between men and women, usually carried out in car parks. Drawing upon interviews with 12 men who engage in dogging behaviours, this article provides insights into the micro-negotiations of the dogging encounter and men’s masculine subjectivities. It argues that masculinity may have limited analytical purchase in the dogging encounter. Inste…
Performance and surveillance in an era of austerity
The last 15 years have seen a remarkable shift in the educational representation of British-born Muslim young men. In the media-led reclassification of them, from South Asian to Muslim, they have moved from ideal student to potential jihadist. This article draws upon a three-year ethnographic study with young Muslim men located within the West Midlands. A shared emphasis on structural issues across critical theoretical frameworks on neoliberalism…
The Cultural (Re)production of Masculinities
In Asian societies, the framing of contemporary masculinities and femininities remains under-theorised. This article critically examines the interplay between schooling, Indonesian Chinese ethnicity and the (re)production of male entrepreneurial masculinities manifested in teenage boys’ sexual/gender subjectivities and identity formation. The qualitative data obtained from an anonymous Chinese-Christian majority international school in Indonesia’…
Higher education, de-centred subjectivities and the emergence of a pedagogical self among Black and Muslim students
This article explores late modern Black and Muslim young men’s and women’s experiences of higher education. Carrying out qualitative research with 14 male and female young people, these students claimed that their Youth and Community Work course at their university made available an alternative representational space, enabling them to develop a major transformation of their sense of identity and self. In deploying the term pedagogical self, we ar…
The 1st international symposium in Turkey on men and masculinities
The 1st International Conference on Men and Masculinities was organized by Initiative for Critical Studies of Masculinities focused on militarism, nationalism, literature, media studies, culture, identity, politics and social construction of masculinities and how these phenomena characterize the transformation of masculinities in a global world. The verbal presentations, workshops, panels and forums stimulated the discussion around changing mascu…
British-Born Pakistani and Bangladeshi Young Men
Much recent academic work on making sense of the changing public profile of the Muslim community in Britain operates within an explanatory framework that assumes a shift from ethnicity to religion and an accompanying shift from racialization to Islamophobia. A key limitation of this work, often grounded in media representations, is that it tends to be disconnected from contemporary lived social relations. In response, this paper critically engage…
Pakistani and Bangladeshi young men
This article explores Pakistani and Bangladeshi young men’s experiences of schooling to examine what inclusion/exclusion means to them. Qualitative research was undertaken with 48 Pakistani and Bangladeshi young men living in areas of the West Midlands, England. The young men highlighted three key areas: the emergence of a schooling regime operating through neo-liberal principles, the recognition of class difference between themselves and teacher…

What's next for masculinity?’ Reflexive directions for theory and research on masculinity and education
Research on masculinity has become an important area of gender and education that includes a wide range of empirical concerns and theoretical approaches. This article identifies a number of studies that are asking questions about the conceptual usefulness of masculinity within educational contexts. The first section explores how educational researchers are beginning to suggest alternative ways that hegemonic masculinity may be configured. The sec…
Understanding boys
Schooling, masculinity and class analysis
The retreat from social class within the sociology of education has been accompanied by the intensification of socio-economic and cultural inequalities. This paper seeks to draw upon cultural analyses of social class by addressing a classificatory shift of white English working-class males, who have moved from an ascribed primary socio-economic status to an embodied aesthetic performance. We examine the reconfiguration of social class within stat…
Nothing to write home about
This article critically engages with the concepts of home, nationality and belonging by evaluating explanations of (e)migration of mid-20th century Irish working class men. We do this by suggesting that contemporary approaches to Irish (e)migration employ 'containing' categories that frame the possibilities of knowing and understanding. We problematize such approaches by examining notions of home/homelessness and the ambivalent racialization of t…
Genders and sexualities
Over the past three decades educational research has provided an exciting and dynamic theoretical engagement with gender and sexuality. While acknowledging this contribution, this article is a conceptually‐led exploration of a number of theoretical and methodological tensions contained within this research. More specifically, it argues that current research is limiting the possibilities of new knowledge by insisting on particular epistemological,…
The promise of post-structuralist methodology
The past decade has witnessed a remarkable explosion of knowledges across the academy, media and political discourse, generating a wide range of representations of men and masculinity. In this paper, we interrogate the failure for an accompanying understanding of the epistemological and methodological implications of the research process in this area of inquiry. More specifically, the paper is located within a particular arena: the schooling of m…
Migrating Masculinities
Feminisation and Schooling
Across media and academic accounts in western societies there is much talk of an implosion of the modernist gender order. One way of capturing this shift is through the deployment of the concept of feminisation and an accompanying masculinity crisis. This paper draws upon empirical work in a specific context, that of the contemporary English schooling of boys. We critically explore the different meanings ascribed to the notion of feminisation. In…
Young (Male) Irelanders
This article explores the experiences of second generation Irish young men living in Britain. Drawing upon theories of globalization, diaspora and subjectivity, it considers how ethnic invisibility (in Britain) and national exclusion (in Ireland) are shaping young people's specific experience of cultural peripheries. At the same time, such a position provides an insight into the centrality of the black/white dualism on a lived-out level, while al…

Out of the Curriculum’
This study draws on ethnographic research conducted over a period of 2 months at aco‐education sixth form. By considering gender identities as performative, ethnographic material is used to illustrate how male students use talk to fashion heterosexual masculinities. It is argued that the relationship between male students and the formal curriculum is crucial to the styles of sex talk spoken out of the formal curriculum. A focus on sexual stories,…
The Sexual Politics of the Curriculum
This paper arises out of our current work investigating the construction of male and female students’ sexual/gender relations within school arenas. A main concern is to explore recent empirical and theoretical work on sexuality, in an attempt to critique the New Right moralism with its own contradictory form of pluralism. At the same time a critical examination of the sexual politics of the curriculum may serve to rethink the underlying values of…

The Training State, De‐industrialisation and the Production of White Working‐class Trainee Identities
This paper highlights the impact of recent state and employment changes upon young people in vocational and educational training.We take the position that within the context of de-industrialisation, changes around youth labour markets are helping to shape new formations of masculine identities.For particular groups of working-class young men these formations appear as highly contradictory.This contradiction surrounds the displacement of their inv…

Migrating Masculinities
A Man in the Making
The academic representation of social transformation in Britain has underplayed the key contribution of sexual politics. More specifically, sociological accounts of changing social relations within institutional sites has served to make invisible sexual identities. From research on a Modern Apprenticeship in the mid 1990's, empirical material is used to make visible male sexualities within Further Education. Importantly, we suggest that in order …

The end of anti-oppressive education? A differentialist critique
This paper outlines the current crisis in the anti-oppressive problematic in English schooling in the mid-1990s.Locating the argument within a socio-historical context, the development of the anti-oppressive problematic is critiqued from a differentialist position exploring its limits within the inter-related arenas of theory, practice and policy.It raises questions about the central explanatory framework of representing social collectivities in …
