Niobe Way: Boys are Telling Us What's Wrong. Will We Finally Listen?
Listen now
Description
Niobe Way, NYU professor, researcher, and author of Deep Secrets, joins Charles and I to talk about boy's crisis of connection. Way's book Deep Secrets is the inspiration for Director Lukas Dhont's 2022 film Close, nominated for Best Foreign Film at the 95th Academy Awards and winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. In this wide ranging conversation we pose a simple question. We know what's at the root of boys' challenges. Thanks to Dhont's powerfully conceived and directed film we have an unprecedented opportunity to pay renewed attention to what boys have been saying in over three decades of Way's research. Will we finally listen? Niobe Way's book Deep Secrets is available here. *** As a writer, speaker and consultant, Mark Greene has spent over a decade deconstructing our binary-riddled dialogues around manhood and masculinity.
