2. Call for participants in the V Forum of the International Sociological
Association, to be held in Rabat, Morocco from July 6 to July 11, 2025.
Tentative title of the panel: "Politics of Masculinities in Contemporary
South Korea"

This panel approaches masculinities not only as an aspect of individual
(gender) identity, but also a dimension of gender as a social structure of
inequality and lasting symbols of strength, control, mastery, and prestige.
It also highlights the “performative” nature of gender as effects of what
people do and therefore interactively developing, rather than what people
are born with and immutably fixed, without overlooking the enduring power
of gender norms and gendered institutional practices over various groups of
individuals. In particular, the panel intends to illuminate how the
neoliberal transformation of the world in general and of South Korea in
particular for the past three decades have shaped continuities and
discontinuities in multiple embodiments of masculinities.


If you have questions and are interested in participating in the panel,
please contact me at semoon at vassar.edu  by *6/20/2024*. The panel proposal
is due on *July 1st, 2024*. Here is the link to the V ISA Forum of
Sociology.
