Australian Boys: Beyond the Boy Problem

在澳大利亚，大多数关于男孩和少年期的研究都集中在减少风险上，将男孩视为学校、街头或人际关系中的问题，与女权主义有着矛盾（如果不是对立的话）的关系。与此同时，强调男孩和青年男子经历的反女权主义公共话语被用来为暴力侵害妇女行为辩护，并呼吁扭转为女孩提供更多机会的社会变革。该研究项目将制定一个跨学科研究框架，将澳大利亚男孩和少年时代作为更具包容性的未来的主题，努力克服女权主义奖学金与男孩的生活和利益之间根深蒂固的对立。

In Australia, most research on boys and boyhood is focused on risk-reduction, representing boys as problems at school, on the streets, or in relationships, with an ambivalent (if not oppositional) relation to feminism. At the same time, anti-feminist public discourse highlighting the experiences of boys and young men is used to justify violence towards women as well as call for the reversal of social changes that have expanded opportunities available to girls. This research project will develop a framework for interdisciplinary research that takes Australian boys and boyhood as the subjects of a more inclusive future, working to overcome ingrained oppositions between feminist scholarship and the lives and interests of boys.
