FOUNDATION FOR MALE STUDIES

MALE STUDIES COALITION

The Foundation is committed to establishing programs and departments of Male Studies and creating a named Chair in Male Studies at a major university.

Expertise

With a multidisciplinary approach and a commitment to advancing knowledge, the Foundation for Male Studies serves as a leading resource for research on male well-being. By bridging the fields of psychology, medicine, sociology, and public policy, we foster a deeper understanding of the challenges and experiences of boys and men—while recognizing how these issues impact society as a whole.

Innovation and Transformation

By adding the study of men and boys as males to the existing canon, the Foundation fills critical gaps in knowledge, advances the body of knowledge for all people, and encourages women, men, boys, and girls to fulfill their human potential.

Influence

With an emphasis on integrating seminars, symposiums, workshops and conferences to the existing gender curricula of leading research universities, the Foundation supports the work of advocates, where it can have maximum impact: communicating to the next generation, to the scholarly, regional and national press, and to the think tanks, institutes and peer foundations that influence public policy, legislation and mass discourse.

Resolve

With more than a quarter century of experience in the field, and a track record of high profile publications, symposia and grants to promising young scholars, the Foundation for Male Studies “gets things done” and is uniquely positioned to support the creation of a new infrastructure for the multi-disciplinary study of males.
