Our discussion will build upon past concepts of defining manhood to unpack what these mean in relationships with oneself, with place & space, and with others both romantically and non-romantically.
Rebuilding Manhood aims to promote healthy and multifaceted identities of masculinity throughout UMBC’s campus community. This discussion-based program follows the Brave Space model for consciousness-raising and critical thinking related to gender norms and variations which will be explored parallel to conversations of race and ethnicity, economic status, sexual orientation, religion, privilege, gender identity, oppression, and other aspects of individual and cultural identity. Alongside the exploration of masculinity, Rebuilding Manhood will mobilize men as allies in gender equity and the prevention of violence in order to support a positive campus climate around gender. This group centers those who identify as men and is open to all individuals regardless of their sex, gender, race, ethnicity, or national origin; we request that students do not use this space for class research or interviews.
