abstract |
This article considers the so-called war on boys through a critical examination of
the way boys and young men have been represented in what might be termed the male
role model discourse in policy and media debates in the UK. Critical engagement with
academic literatures that explore the male role model response to what has become
known as the problem of boys, predominantly in education and in welfare settings,
reveals that contemporary policy solutions continue to be premised on outdated theoretical
foundations that reflect simplistic understandings of gender and gender relations.
In this article we advocate policy solutions that acknowledge the complexity and diversity
of boys’ and young men’s experiences and that do not simplistically reduce their problems
to the notion of a crisis in masculinity. |
