Details
As a male survivor of sexual assault, researcher, and widely published author on masculinity, Tim has seen firsthand how frequently students want to have conversations concerning the ever-changing idea of masculinity. The key lies in helping guide these discussions in a way that is just as fluid as the differing definitions of masculinity. While working with hundreds of thousands of students discussing sex positivity and sexual violence prevention, Tim has learned how to create spaces where students can have critical discussions about the role of masculinity in their community. And he found that facilitating these honest conversations creates safer, more inclusive spaces for all.
Throughout this program, Tim guides participants to explore, critique, and navigate their personal and communal definitions of masculinity. He also empowers participants to embrace versions of masculinity that feel healthy while pushing past regressive and outdated status quos. In a vulnerable, honest, and authentic conversation, Tim helps everyone understand various obstacles that can shift masculinity from being healthy to causing harm.
In this keynote, Tim leads a vulnerable conversation about exploring his masculinity as a male survivor and how traditional values and tropes of masculinity influence our perceptions. Tim will leave a lasting impact on your students by connecting personal stories with original research grounded in the collegiate experience. This program challenges harmful perceptions while building a welcoming dialogue where everyone can participate.
