It's out!! My book "Masculinities In Schools" is available to buy now.

I wanted to create something that assists educators in person-centered, compassionate and accountable masculinity work.

I'm excited to hear what people think!!

I am seeing an increased presence of continually younger teens fixating on bodybuilding and muscularity. Whilst masculinity and the pursuit of muscularity are typically linked across generations, the pursuit of size and stature is seemingly occurring at much younger ages... And it is concerning.

Some of my interests include...

Masculinity

Decolonial Studies

Psychology

Comics and comic book video games

Strength training

Mental health

Personal development

NFL (although SUPER new to this, admittedly)

Traveling!

This paper unpacks youth centred, decolonial, pluriversal interventions designed for young people in high schools.

It is one of my favorite pieces of work!

When we're talking about masculinity and mental health, I think it's really important to acknowledge that a deep form of self care is found in the pursuit of structural awareness.

Here are some (!!) of the ways I support young men in my work across school and community settings.

I use "love" as an anchor because if we don't lead with love in our work, what are we doing and modelling!?

I took a day off of writing today and had a TOTAL breakthrough on a section I'm working on... 🤗

I know a change of scenery works, but there's something about this "magnet" on my seat when that seems to gets stronger as I approach a deadline...

The energy here is beautiful!! #bluesky

Hi #bluesky! I am currently writing my first book!

I'm excited to share my methodologies, reflections and suggestions for educators looking to support young men during such complex and polarizing times.

Coming in 2025.

Masculinity work is not just dismantling the "system" of heteropatriarchy. Within this heteropatriarchy are several intersecting, symbiotic nodes of marginalization and bias that if left unexamined, allow numerous types of systemic injustice to occur...

Excited to be here!!👋🏽

I'm writing a book on masculinities in schools for Sage and have spent the last few years working with thousands of young men in schools across the UK, helping them to examine, explore and expand on taken for granted assumptions of masculinity.
