While AMSA welcomes proposals that address “transitions” in any relationship to men and masculinities, we especially encourage proposals that address the following themes:

• Transitions in men’s lives - including, but not limited to, transitions in health, economics, politics, migration/citizenship status, and aging; 

• Transitions in discourse around men and/or masculinities;

• Trans and queer men and masculinities; 

• Efforts to encourage various forms of transition - including, but not limited to, social and political movements, non-profit and NGO programming, education, and therapeutic or medical efforts.

Acknowledging and honoring all of the hard work that the 2020 conference organizers and planned presenters put into preparing for our postponed conference, all those who were accepted to present at the 2020 conference are invited to present their work at the 2021 conference without the need to resubmit their proposals.

• Engaging men as anti-racists

• Professional development and mentoring for students and early-career scholars, teachers, and practitioners within and outside of academia

• Working with communities, and community-industry partnerships

• Professional networking and collaboration

• Working with media and public scholarship
  

You may propose your workshop as a three-hour pre-conference session or a 90-minute conference session.
