Masculinities in the Field: Tourism and Transdisciplinary Research

This volume is an essential reference for designing, analysing and reflecting on field research. It advances the literature on gender by taking a specific focus on masculinities. The book is organised into four sections: hegemonic and heteronormative masculinities, performing heteronormative masculinities, situated masculinities and paternal masculinities. The chapters explore the question of what it means to be a ‘man’ and definitions of masculinities.

It is a useful tool for supervisors, ethics committee members and researchers (male and female). Read more
