Call for Book Proposals – Emerald Advances in Masculinities

Emerald Advances in Masculinities brings together diverse discussions of masculinities to give you a space to develop alternative voices and perspectives that push the boundaries in discussions of masculinities.

Whether you want to publish a longform monograph, shortform, an edited collection, or a handbook, the series is home to the best research in this area from internationally recognised academics to early-career researchers.

Books in the series explore some of the major current concepts that traverse a range of methodologies, theoretical perspectives, and conceptualisations related to the critical studies of men and masculinities. We publish books from scholars across the world in fields ranging from criminology, sociology, psychology, law, and critical gender studies and beyond, as well as those using trans- and inter- disciplinary perspectives.

We are interested in receiving submissions in topics including, but not limited to:

  • Carceral geography and issues of space and place
  • Comparative research on masculinities
  • Crime, punishment, penology and masculinities
  • Education and masculinities
  • Gender-transformation, masculinities and young people
  • Health practices and masculinities
  • Identity, body and impression management across space and time
  • LGBTQ+ people, identity, and masculinities
  • Masculinities and digital societies
  • Masculinities and war
  • Masculinities and the changing nature of employment
  • Masculinities and the family
  • Masculinities in the context of borders, migration, and detention
  • Media representations of masculinities
  • Mental, physical and social health
  • Sexuality and masculinities
  • Surveillance and the online world
  • Technology, masculinities and justice
  • Theoretical explorations of critical masculinities.

We encourage authors globally to contact us as the hope is to create a truly international series on masculinities. We also recognise the imbalanced political economy of knowledge production and therefore welcome scholars from the Global South.
