Changing Men and Masculinities in Gender Equal Societies. Conference in Denmark January 2009

This is the first official Nordic conference arranged by the Nordic Society for research on Men and Masculinities (provisional board). The conference is organised in cooperation with NeMM – Network for reasearch on Men and Masculinities, RUC - Roskilde University, Department of Psychology and Educational Studies. The aim of the conference is to exchange and gather knowledge from research on men and masculinities in ‘the gender equal Nordic countries’.
