Masculinities go to community college: Understanding male identity socialization and gender role conflict

Frank Harris III, San Diego State University

Abstract

Previous research has neglected to explore identities and development among male students at community colleges. This chapter provides some insight into who these men are, their precollege gender socialization experiences, and conflicts that impede the development of productive masculinities.
