Culture and Sport in the Development Agenda

Description
Drawing on selected videos and his recent book, Macho, varon, masculino. Estudios de Masculinidades en Cuba (Macho, Male, Masculine. Studies of Masculinity in Cuba), Dr. Julio Cesar Gonzalez Pages will lead a discussion and debate that considers the links between culture and sport and expressions of violence. Given the importance of culture and sport to both women and men, Dr. Pages argues that these issues must be a focus of the global development agenda. The consumption of culture and sport is full of sexist and male chauvinist stereotypes that help to incite violence. How can this be prevented? How can we intervene? Dr. Pages is a historian and a researcher on gender and masculinities.
