Description

In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss launch the fourth season of their podcast by examining a concept that sociologists continue to engage with to produce insightful understandings of how social life is gendered. They use Connell and Messerschmidt's article in Gender & Society and an earlier piece by Connell in Teachers College Record to explore how the concept of hegemonic masculinity has been theorised, applied, critiqued, and refined in various sociological discussions. Louis does three things of note in this episode. He recounts a time he felt pressured to get in a fight at a nightclub. He admits he's never seen Back to the Future. And he wonders why he isn't receiving more cash in envelopes from podcast listeners.
