Masculinity in a Changing World

The last few decades have seen rapid changes in gender relations and norms—in the household, in the workforce, and in government. The 2023-24 Jepson Leadership Forum invites speakers to discuss masculinity in the context of these recent cultural changes.

Specific topics include the role of hormones in gender identity and behavior, status competition and violence, challenges facing men as a result of the changing nature of the family and the economy, Black masculinity in the United States, and the past and future of patriarchy globally.

Join us as we welcome Charles Blow, New York Times columnist, CNN commentator, MSNBC political analyst, and anchor of "PRIME with Charles Blow" on the Black News Channel, and author of  “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” and “The Devil You Know”, for his presentation, Black Masculinity.
