# Event Details - **Event Name**: Exploring Masculinities: A One-Day Symposium on Current Manosphere Research - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 05:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Featuring cutting-edge research on pipelines into the manosphere and workshops on engaging boys and men in positive masculinity workAbout this EventExploring Masculinities: A One-Day Symposium on Current Manosphere Research and How to Engage Boys and Men in Positive Masculinities WorkIn 2000, the then Department of Education and Science launched the Exploring Masculinities educational programme for second-level schools in Ireland. Ahead of its time, it met with reactionary criticism and achieved limited integration into the SPHE curriculum. 26 years later, a sustained backlash against feminism and the subsequent rise of the manosphere present a new wave of challenges to gender equality, preventing VAWG and supporting the development of healthy, diverse masculinities. This one-day symposium brings academics researching the manosphere into constructive dialogue with NGOs, educators and other stakeholders responding to its harmful impacts. More specifically, it creates a space for discussion on how we should best proceed with prevention and intervention strategies to address the rising tide of misogyny in digital, school and other contexts.PROGRAMME09.00 – 09.20: Tea and coffee09.20 – 09.30: Word of welcome from the European Parliament Liaison Office09.30 – 10.00 Prof. Debbie Ging + Dr. Kenny Doyle - Welcome and introduction10.00 – 11.15 Prof. Joshua Roose + Prof. Michael Flood - Anti-Woman Movements: Pathways and Patterns of Participation (Australian Research Council)11.15 – 11.35 Dr. Shane Murphy - Masc Up - Engaging Boys in Tackling the Impact of Masculinity Influencers on Attitudes to Sexual and Gender Based Violence (Research Ireland and the Men’s Development Network)11.35 – 11.55 Dr. Veronica Ferreira - The MANOSphere Pill: Pathways of Boys and Men into Online Male Supremacism in Portugal and Ireland (European Union)11.55 – 12.15 Deniz Celikoglu - Young Men and Parents: Insights into the Manosphere (European Union)12.15 – 12.30 Dr. Catherine Baker – Challenging the Manosphere: Empowering Educators through Critical Digital Literacy12.30 – 13.30 LUNCH13.30 – 15.30 Thematic break-out workshops15.30 – 16.00 Coffee break16.00 -17.30 Final roundtable and wrap up – next steps - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/dublin/exploring-masculinities-a-one-day-symposium-on-current-manosphere-research/100001986216703628 - **Event Categories**: Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Dublin - **state**: DN - **country**: Ireland - **location**: Europe House - **lat**: 53.3411841 - **long**: -6.261377299999999 - **full address**: Europe House, 5 Balfe Street, Dublin, Ireland ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Exploring Masculinities: A One-Day Symposium on Current Manosphere Research - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/5185f3e6056da900bf745fbf3f0547e89aef7f7712c277abf9f2b40bef24c9f2-rimg-w1200-h600-dc1358a5-gmir.jpg?v=1775827263 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Exploring Masculinities: A One-Day Symposium on Current Manosphere Research being held? - **A:** Exploring Masculinities: A One-Day Symposium on Current Manosphere Research takes place on Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 05:30 pm at Europe House, 5 Balfe Street, Dublin, Ireland. - **Q**: Who is organizing Exploring Masculinities: A One-Day Symposium on Current Manosphere Research? - **A:** Exploring Masculinities: A One-Day Symposium on Current Manosphere Research is organized by IRGS + Men's Development Network. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
