Project Year: 2019 - 2020

Funding Source: The Women's Foundation

Project Team Member: Dr CHAN Kit Wa Anita

The study examined young men's perception, understanding and evaluation of gender roles, women's rising status, and changing gender and sexual relationships. With a focus on male university students, it also investigated what factors might be shaping the gendered attitudes of young, educated men. Moreover, it assessed whether taking gender-related courses or programmes makes a difference in young men's understanding of gender roles and masculinity.
