The workshop is based on an article, Raewyn Connell has published in 2010 in the Österreichische Zeitschrift für Soziologie: “Lives of the businessmen. Reflections on life-history method and contemporary hegemonic masculinity”. Based on life-history research, Connell illustrates two case studies drawn from an Australian project on corporate masculinities: One older style of local hegemonic masculinity as well as a more globally oriented modernizing managerial masculinity.
The participants of the workshop are invited to present and discuss some of their own research material (interviews, case studies).
