S2E3 - New Masculinities and the Old Marketplace

In this episode, we are joined in the studio by our students Anne-Mette Buch Hansen (master’s in international business and marketing) and Mike Gotfredsen (bachelor’s in market and management anthropology). Anne-Mette talks about her thesis research into mens’ clothing and make-up consumption that are deemed “gender-transgressive”. Mike, who was an interlocutor in Anne-Mette's study, shares his own experiences and keen observations . Together we discuss the changing and ever-diversifying understandings and practices of masculinity in a world where especially young people are challenging gender norms and categories, even while the marketplace and the “mainstream” are quite often lagging behind.
