16 Days - Dr Frazer Heritage and Caroline Stancer

Dr Frazer Heritage will be discussing his new book Incels and Ideologies: exploring how incels use language to construct gender and race. Dr Heritage positions incels’ performances of masculinity against a backdrop of broader social sciences and linguistic literature. Dr Heritage will be joined by PhD student Caroline Stancer.

Caroline’s poetry focuses on representations of masculinities in contemporary poetry. She is particularly interested in how poetry can use multiple viewpoints to both represent and challenge current performances of masculinity which may be harmful to people of any gender.

This event is part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a series of poetry readings, panels and workshops led by academics in the field. Our events examine how poetry can create transformational social change in partnership with the public and policymakers.
