چکیده
This paper draws on doctoral research that explores boys’ understandings of masculinity. It reports on a doctoral study conducted in an all boys’ Australian, secondary college with almost 300 Year 12 students. This paper presents boys’ descriptions of the qualities they consider make for masculinity and the processes involved in becoming masculine. It highlights the dichotomy experienced by some of these boys between ideal expressions of masculinity and humanity. This research has implications for gender education within schools. It illustrates that boys’ life education into masculinity is limited. This is a work in progress.
