Dr Gill Harrop, a senior lecturer in Forensic Psychology at the University of Worcester, discusses how we might go about developing a culture of positive masculinity in society.
The Crowther Centre in Australia (based out of Brighton Grammar School) has defined positive masculinity as:
“The expression of attitudes and behaviours (character strengths and virtues which any gender might have) that have been embodied and enacted by males for the common good, both individually and for the community.”
In this article, Dr Gill Harrop discusses how we might go about developing a culture of positive masculinity in society. This has resonance for the discussions we are having about supporting our boys to 'embrace healthy and pro-social' behaviours. Key to this is openness and encouraging the conversation. Honesty is the disruptor.
