Abstract

Through scholarly evidence and a narrative example, the authors of this chapter offer concrete tools for college and university leaders to transform institutions of higher education by engaging college men through a lens of productive masculinity. Specifically, this chapter provides theoretical and practical considerations for including men in efforts to combat destructive and violent behavior on college campuses. Rather than approaching these students solely from a perspective of hegemonic masculinity and patriarchal gender norms, college and university leaders can invite men to be positive change agents on campus by leveraging a theoretical framework that positions college men as active contributors to a safe and affirming campus community. The chapter concludes with practical recommendations for college and university leaders who want to implement productive masculinity on their campuses.
