Transmaxxing , Identity, and Online Male Subcultures
This paper examines transmaxxing, an emergent discourse within online male subcultures in which some men frame gender transition as a strategic response to perceived masculine failure and social marginalisation. Rather than being primarily associated with gender dysphoria, transmaxxing is positioned as a route to social recognition, sexual access, and personal fulfilment, shaped by perceived misandry and disillusionment with men’s contemporary so…
‘I’m not burning out, I’m rusting out’
Higher Education-Based Teacher Educators (TEs) are responsible for the preparation of future teachers across the continuum of education. However, despite their significant role in the education ecosystem, their well-being and professional satisfaction often remain overlooked in research and policy. For example, while burnout among academics is extensively studied, it remains under-researched, particularly among TEs. Even less attention is paid to…
“Even though I’m not an incel, I’m still an involuntary celibate”
Incels, or involuntary celibates, represent a sub-section of the manosphere: an informal confederacy of digital communities where men construct and strengthen anti-feminist/male hegemonic narratives. Inceldom represents a beta masculine identity, with members placing themselves at the bottom of a natural hierarchy. Bonded by a shared belief in their genetic inferiority and ensuing sexual marginalization, they are depressed and angered by the perc…
‘Don’t do anything special for us coming’
Ofsted inspections of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) providers aim to enhance training quality for pre-service teachers in England. However, research rarely examines the impact of these inspections on the wellbeing of Teacher Educators (TEs) based in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This study, part of a broader investigation into burnout among HEI-based TEs in Ireland and the UK, focuses on the English context, where the inspection practic…
Understanding Teacher Educators' Quality of Life
Teacher Educators (TE) are a specific category of Higher Education (HE) academics whose primary responsibility is the preparation of Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) for the Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary, and Further Education and Training contexts. TEs navigate this important, multifaceted role in addition to growing work pressures and decreased resource allocations. Though these stressors often lead to burnout, negatively impacting TEs’ wellbe…

Land of Woke and Glory? The Conceptualisation and Framing of “Wokeness” in UK Media and Public Discourses
Though the term originated in the early twentieth century, it is only recently "wokeness" has become a staple of British media discourse. Typically, the concept features in commentaries and exchanges about institutional power, censorship, minority rights/representation, and structural racism, i.e. "culture wars" discourses. Polling suggests that the public considers wokeness a threat despite lacking clarity or consensus on its specific meaning. T…
Monogamy? In this Economy?”
Monogamous marriage, sometimes called “the bedrock of society,” still carries an apparent “halo” of moral superiority as a relationship structure. In contrast, consensual non-monogamous (CNM) configurations are stigmatized. Research indicates a connection between stigma, stress, and negative health outcomes, despite CNM comparing favorably with monogamy. The present study uses interviews to explore minority stress and resilience among individuals…
“The ultimate test of self-discipline”
NoFap is a community of mostly heterosexual men abstaining from what they see as an addictive cycle of pornography, masturbation, and orgasm, induced by the exploitation of innate male urges by the pornography industry. In the general population, increased masturbation and consumption of pornography are associated with psychological factors including low affect, loneliness, and boredom, all of which may be exacerbated by the lockdown/social dista…
Shaping the modern world with a stone-age brain
Decision making is not always a reasoned process. It is often subject to reflexive heuristics. The Moral Foundations Theory is a popular theoretical framework that characterises political decisions by adherence to an evolutionary criterion. Based on recurrent ancestral pressures, this model anticipates our species’ tribal history has resulted in a set of intuitive ethics: Care/ Harm, Fairness/ Cheating, Loyalty/ Betrayal, Authority/ Subversion, a…
Use of ‘gay dating apps’ and its relationship with individual well-being and sense of community in men who have sex with men
There is growing literature and empirical work that is investigating if and how mobile phone and tablet dating apps are influencing the lives of their users. An online questionnaire-based study was developed to investigate how men who have sex with men (MSM) use ‘gay dating apps’ (GDAs), and how such use may relate to different aspects of their lives on an individual and on a collective level. The study included data from 191 MSM living in the UK…

A year with the Senior Center Band
This article describes my year-long experience as a member of the Portage Senior Center Band (PSCB). I had been familiar with the band through occasional subbing for one of their trombone players but wanted to gain more insight into members of the band, especially since I had seen dramatic increases in the level of musicality over the years. As a participant observer for a twelve-month period, I actively participated in all but two scheduled perf…
Community music in the United States
The purpose of this paper is to explore the contribution community music has made and can make to cultural education in the United States, both in its own right and in the context of education as a whole. The paper gives a bird's-eye view of the historical highlights of community music-making activity in various parts of the country, particularly outlining the types of activity prevalent within the southeast of the country. Finally, some thoughts…
