Abstract
Scholarship on the geographies of masculinities developed out of earlier work within feminist geographies as well as research about the cultural politics of identity. Although much work on men and masculinities draws upon research by Raewyn Connell, Peter Jackson was arguably one of the first geographers to provide a map for the study of masculinities within human geography. Since the late 1980s, work in this area has continued to grow, and geographers have now explored the ways in which masculinities are constructed and contested in a wide variety of social, cultural, political, and economic contexts.
