New Publication: Recruiting Cishet Men
MEN, SEX & INTIMACY
This project explores cisgender, heterosexual men's negotiations of sex, consent, and intimacy. It is funded by the Australian Research Council.
This project aims to understand young cisgender, heterosexual men’s experiences of sexual intimacy and technology use, and how those experiences relate to their sexuality and sexual engagement with women.
This project will enhance knowledge on the ways young men engage with women and enhance capacity to build community collaboration in working with men on gender equality.
