University of Chicago doctoral student, J. Ckristafer Baker, supervised by Dr.Judith Farquhar, will undertake research on the relationship between personal and institutional constructions of culturally accepted ideas of male gender in the United States. Previous research on gender-identification reveals a tension between personal and mainstream (institutionalized) understandings, raising the question of where cultural norms originate. The research is designed to contribute to answering that question.The research will be carried out in northern California. Research methodologies will include participation in the social and political life of differently identified men, ethnographic interviews, archival research into medical and legal management, and monitoring news and popular media. The overarching goal of this project is to investigate the microprocesses by which gender categories are constructed and maintained, and how they connect to legal, medical, psychotherapeutic, social-service, and educational practices.The research will make important theoretical contributions to understanding the sources of cultural norms, which has significance for developing appropriate cultural policy and regulation, as well. Funding this research also supports the education of a social scientist.

芝加哥大学博士生J. Ckristafer Baker在朱迪思·法夸尔博士的指导下，将从事美国文化上接受的男性性别观念的个人和制度建设之间关系的研究。以往的性别认同研究揭示了个人和主流（制度化）的理解之间的紧张关系，提出了文化规范起源的问题。这项研究旨在回答这个问题。这项研究将在北方加州进行。研究方法将包括参与不同身份男子的社会和政治生活，人种学访谈，医疗和法律的管理档案研究，以及监测新闻和大众媒体。本项目的总体目标是研究性别类别的构建和维持的微观过程，以及它们与法律的、医疗、心理治疗、社会服务和教育实践的联系，为理解文化规范的来源做出重要的理论贡献，这对制定适当的文化政策和法规也具有重要意义。资助这项研究也支持社会科学家的教育。
