Interactions: Studies in Communication and Culture

Call for Papers

Thematic Issue: Masculinity in the 21st Century

Guest Editor: Elwood D. Watson, East Tennessee State University

Over the better part of the past two decades, masculinity is a subject 
that has ignited considerable interest among journalists, bloggers, 
researchers, academics and the the mass public. There has been no 
shortage of articles exploring men's lives. Generation X is the 
demographic group of Americans born from 1965-1979. This is a unique 
generation on many levels with undoubtedly provocative stories and 
insights to share with others. Men, like women, are very diverse and 
pluralistic in regards to our ethnic makeup, life experiences, political 
affiliations, social values, religious persuasions, sexual identity, 
educational levels and other factors.

This issue of Interactions is dedicated to examining all the various 
experiences, facts, fictions, stereotypes, myths, cultural identity, 
etc., associated with contemporary manhood in the 21st Century. Articles 
could address religion, race, divorce, sexual identity, masculinity, 
work, family life, consumerism, marriage, popular culture, education, 
relationships, gender, 21st century perceptions of Generation X, baby 
boomers, millennials, economics, mental health, disabilities as well as 
other related topics.

About the journal
Interactions recognises the interdisciplinary nature of the fields of 
media, communication and cultural studies and we therefore encourage 
diverse themes, subjects, contexts and approaches; empirical, 
theoretical and historical. Our objective is to engage readers and 
contributors from different parts of the world in a critical debate on 
the myriad interconnections and interactions between communication, 
culture and society at the outset of the twenty first century.

It is our intention to encourage the development of the widest possible 
scholarly community, both in terms of geographical location and 
intellectual scope and we will publish leading articles from both 
established scholars and those at the beginning of their careers.
