In this roundtable, four panelists will discuss alternate masculinity ‘futures.’ Inspired by masculinities studies, panelists will offer critical speculations on how notions of masculinity may develop over the next 25 years in relation to the field of sports, hegemony, inclusion, militarization and transgendersim. We will thus explore how the forces of change and stasis may affect ideas about, and manifestations of, masculinity as time marches on.
