Description
Authors work to contribute to the field of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander masculinities in Australia by foregrounding and privileging how these men perceive themselves. Study considers interviews with 13 men and discusses “Indigenous masculinities rooted in place; a relationality motivated by an intergenerational sense of responsibility; a nuanced idea of acting hard.”
Project consisted of analysis of print media coverage and interviews. Five topics came to the forefront: leadership, mothering, families and transitioning out of sex work, ethical and effective service, and the media.
