Congratulations to Gen Creighton who successfully defended her PhD thesis: “Troubled Masculinity: Exploring Gender Identity and Risk Taking Following the Death of a Friend”.
This was a study of the ways in which young men cope with the loss of a male friend to an accidental death. Using critical social theory—including masculinities theory, Bourdieu’s theory of practice and Paechter’s gendered communities of practice as a guiding framework—the project looks at the differential ways that young men think about and reconstruct their masculine identity and future involvement in risk practices following their friend’s death.
