Michael Addis, Ph.D, Clark University - My interests are in men’s mental health. I’m particularly interested in the effects of masculine gender socialization on the way men experience, express, and resond to problems in living. My current research focuses on links between masculinity and barriers to use of mental health services.
Andrew Smiler, Ph.D., State University of New York-Oswego - My research interests focus on the development of masculinity, for both men and women, over the lifetime. In particular, I study how the media, peers, and leisure time activities shape and maintain an individual's enactment of masculinity. I also study the sexual beliefs and behaviors of 15-30 year olds, including the connections between masculinity and sexuality.
