Speaking engagements

Interested in booking me to speak in-person or virtually?
Here are a few topics I would be thrilled to talk about:

  • Toxic masculinity
    What exactly is toxic masculinity and why is it a problem? Where does it come from and who does it benefit - if it benefits anyone at all? Is all masculinity toxic? If it isn’t, how can we tell the good from the bad? Given how controversial the phrase is, are we better off abandoning the label - and if so, what’s the alternative?

  • Healthy masculinity
    What is healthy masculinity - or, rather, healthy masculinities - and what makes it different from its toxic counterpart? What attitudes and behaviors are associated with healthy masculinity? How do we promote and sell the idea of healthy masculinity to boys and young men?

  • The Manosphere and manfluencing
    What is the Manosphere and where is it? When was it created and how has it evolved? What is a manfluencer and which ones do I need to know about? What do these men say, how do they say it, and what makes them so persuasive - and dangerous?

  • Detoxifying and demanfluencing social media
    Who are the men clapping back at the Mansophere and what are their stories? How do they speak and what are they saying? What strategies do they employ to undermine the appeal and authority of manfluencers - and how can those same strategies be employed by others?
