Jackson Katz, PhD

MODERN MASCULINITY

Raising a Stand-Up Guy Not a Stand-By Guy

Tues. Feb 25, 7:00pm • Junipero Serra High School
Wed. Feb 26, 7:00pm • St. Francis High School

Society's understanding of masculinity is changing – redefining culture and challenging long-held beliefs. Author, educator, filmmaker and activist Jackson Katz supports parents in fostering fulfilling, realistic masculine identities for our boys, moving beyond the portrayals of maleness that dominate our media and are harmful to both genders. Parents will hear essential strategies for guiding our sons in becoming principled, confident young men and for helping our daughters navigate this evolving landscape.

ALL parents welcome – most appropriate for parents of preteens and teens, both boys AND girls.
