Tales of gender(ed) identity constructions in one boys' Catholic school: A review of Masculinities and Other Hopeless Causes at an All-Boys Catholic School

Abstract

Masculinities and Other Hopeless Causes at an All-Boys Catholic School examines how notions of gender—specifically masculinity—are formed in the classrooms and school environment of a Chicago Catholic boys' school. Through a year-long autoethnographic study, the author explores how students construct their identities in discourses of religion, gender, and sexuality.
