Written by leading experts in the area, this volume investigates the ways in which emerging masculinities theory in law could inform feminist legal theory in particular and law in general. As many of the chapters in this collection illustrate, law is constantly in a dynamic interaction with masculinities.

Written by leading experts in the area, this volume investigates the ways in which emerging masculinities theory in law could inform feminist legal theory in particular and law in general. As many of the chapters in this collection illustrate, law is constantly in a dynamic interaction with masculinities: it has both influenced existing masculinities and has been influenced by those masculinities. The contributions focus feminist and critical theoretical attention on masculinities and consider the implications of masculinities theory for law and legal theory.

'Whether discussing specific institutions, or geographic locations, or exploring thorny theoretical problems, the authors in this volume range widely and probe deeply to situate masculinity in current legal conversations. Exploring Masculinities is more than useful; it's necessary.' Michael Kimmel, Stony Brook University and Director, Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities, USA This volume of essays provides a rich diet of research and scholarship exploring the complex interweaving of masculinities and law. Through both a wide variety of substantive case studies and critical perspectives, the essays collected here offer an invaluable snapshot of current debates and perspectives. The interdisciplinary perspectives and multijurisdictional inquiries make this volume of interest to a wide range of scholars, researchers and activists. Leslie J. Moran, University of London, UK
