On April 11, 2016 at 6:00 pm in Gannett Auditorium, the Advisory Council for Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct will host a lecture with Sut Jhally, Professor of Communication at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Founder and Executive Director of the Media Education Foundation (MEF). Professor Jhally’s talk Tough Guise: Media, Violence & Masculinity looks at the way in which “normal” definitions of masculinity position violence, intimidation and threat as key components of modern manhood. Also examined are ways to live outside of these constraining stories, so that boys have a chance of becoming “better men.”

This event is hosted by the Advisory Council on Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct with generous support from the President’s Office and the Office of the Vice President for Strategic Planning and Institutional Diversity.
