Professor Juan Carlos Ramirez from the Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico will present a talk at Zimmerman Library in the Herzstein Room on Friday, July 30, at 3 p.m. The talk, “Running Masculinities: Power and Resistance in the Relationships between Men and Women,” will be followed by a reception. Ramirez’ talk will be presented in English, but will include some testimonial texts in Spanish that will be distributed to the audience. He will answer questions in both English and Spanish.
Ramirez is also a medical doctor in public health and his areas of interest include women’s health, gender and health, gender and violence and mortality and health policy. His research project deals with the problem of gender violence and concepts of masculinity, using a theoretical framework that combines sociological and clinical methodologies.
He is interested in building a network among institutions that take action on health services, education law and justice in this area.
