Hegemonic Masculinity in the Marginal Societal Context | NEW PUBLICATION BY DR. ANISUR RAHMAN KHAN

Our faculty member Dr. Anisur Rahman Khan, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, East West University, in his recent research examined the implications of a few cross-currents of marginality such as migration, poverty, and unemployment in relation to men’s situatedness and positionalities in the context of Bangladesh. 

It has been argued that, as men in this marginal society are in constant negotiations with their livelihood means, the conceptual version of Western hegemonic masculinity seems unpersuasive to express men’s real-world situations. 

The paper also suggested non-Western (Global South) scholars to involve in research and analysis of men and masculinities and to embrace the local context and cultural realities more conspicuously to get rid of conceptual imperialism.
