Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together a collection of case studies that explore the relationship between health and masculinity. It covers various topics related to health, such as mental health, sexual health, eating disorders and coronavirus, and offers health-based perspectives on issues such as migration and gender identity, as these relate to masculinities. In exploring these themes, this book addresses a wide range of communicative contexts, including online forums, interviews, advertising, sex education materials, migrant integration classes, and suicide notes. This book will appeal to linguists interested in health and gender (particularly masculinities), as well as scholars in fields such as psychology, media studies, cultural studies, and other humanities and social science disciplines with a focus on discourse.

Gavin Brookes is a Research Fellow in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University, UK. His research is situated in the field of discourse studies, where he applies corpus and multimodal approaches to examine discourse and identity, with a particular focus on health and gender amongst other aspects of identity.

Malgorzata Chalupnik is Assistant Professor in the School of English at the University of Nottingham, UK. She specialises in the areas of professional and health communication, as well as language, gender and sexuality.
