Peace Studies and Gender Studies: Exploring peaceful Masculinities

Franz Jedlicka talks about a possible nexus between peace research and gender studies, namely: exploring the development of peaceful masculinities, especially by examining parenting habits in the countries of the world. He mentions literature by Lonnie Athens (violentization theory), Valerie Hudson (et.al.) and her womenstats project, Theodor W. Adorno / E. Brunswick (authoritarian character) and argues that caring masculinities, active fatherhood, parental leave strategies could have an impact.
