Land Recognition and Call to Action
The University of Washington Tacoma recognizes that all of us at UW Tacoma learn, live, and work on or near the ancestral homeland of the Coast Salish people. In particular, our campus is situated on the current and traditional land of the Puyallup. And we also want to acknowledge the lands of the Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Suquamish, Duwamish, and all other traditional lands we may reside on. As people on these occupied territories, we acknowledge the land, the ancestors who have cared for this land since time immemorial, and all of our Native and Indigenous connections today. We also acknowledge the histories of dispossession and forced removal that have allowed for the growth and survival of this nation and institution. In light of this history, we have a responsibility to take active efforts to partner with our Native and Indigenous community members and neighbors to seek justice as we continue our work together as a community of learners, leaders, and educators.

Attending to Our Commitments
Masculinities' Intersections with Theory & Practice
Building on the innovative presentations and lectures given at the 2021 virtual conference, the 2022 conference theme calls for a continuation of grappling with the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of our work. The conference theme invites reflection and critique of the theories developed and applied within critical studies of men and masculinities - whether that be in scholarship, practice, or the classroom. It emphasizes the desire and need to attend to our commitments, to think about them seriously, and to develop the field in concert with our allied disciplines, theories, and methods. We encourage proposals that think outside of disciplinary boundaries and build dialog between and among various fields and theories.
