Our paper examines how scholarly research on transnational migration has addressed gender identities, focusing specifically on the construction of masculinities among transnational migrant men in Canada. While research on transnational female migrants acknowledges their heterogeneous experiences of gender, research on transnational male migrants often presumes that their experiences of gender are largely homogenous. To fill this gap in the literature, our paper presents a scoping review of peer-reviewed research that explores how transnational migration both unmakes and remakes migrant men’s gender identities in the Canadian context. Our study concludes that there is a need for more scholarship relating to transnational migrant men in Canada, particularly that which examines how masculinities are produced by and productive of changing social locations, cultural positionalities, patterns of inequality, and hierarchies of power and privilege.

While most violent crime declined during COVID-19, domestic and gender-based violence either remained the same or increased in most jurisdictions. Some social movements have turned to engaging men in change for gender equity initiatives—confronting intersecting oppressions. In this systematic review, we examine peer-reviewed studies on White men’s allyship across five electronic databases which resulted in seven studies that met the inclusion criteria. White men’s allyship is an emerging research area that is primarily qualitative and exploratory with few high-quality studies. Antecedents of White men’s allyship were a sense of fairness, justice, and equality; compassion; personal experiences of oppression; and caring community membership along with leadership skills. The processes allies experienced as they developed were turning points, learning and knowledge acquisition, joining social movements and engaging in social action, and skill building and maturation. Learning from the critiques of allyship is an opportunity for White men to engage in relationally accountable allyship.

Increases in overt displays of homosocial tactility among men and declines in homophobia and homohysteria are contributing globally to changes in the social dynamics of masculine expressions. Said changes spill over into various social institutions, including that of contact sport. Long regarded as a hypermasculine context, studies show that rugby has become more inclusive. Although research conducted in the US and UK is well-documented, the topic remains under-researched in South Africa. To this end, the article relates findings of a qualitative sociological exploration of seven self-identified gay rugby players and their experiences of homohysteria. The findings showed that the participants mitigate homohysteria through accruing gender and body capital and establishing horizontal homosocial brotherhoods with their gay and heterosexual teammates.

The literature differentiates between two domains of machismo: traditional machismo and caballerismo. Research has largely focused on measuring machismo among English speakers. We evaluated whether Estrada’s (2011) 2-factor model of machismo was invariant across language (English vs. a direct Spanish translation). A series of multigroup confirmatory factor analyses were conducted between respondents who completed the survey in English ( n = 428) and Spanish ( n = 102). Analyses suggested the hypothesized 2-factor model did not fit across language groups. While the traditional 2-factor structure emerged in the English language data, exploratory factor analysis indicated a 3-factor structure of machismo among Spanish-speaking respondents. One of the new factors (inherent machismo), among Spanish-speaking respondents, was associated with internalized heterosexism, suggesting that the new factor structure may capture the belief that masculine men are superior. These findings suggest there is a need for the development of culturally appropriate Spanish language assessment.

This article explores how upon self-defining their manhood identities as unimpacted by their impairments, the participants, traditionally initiated Xhosa men with visible physical impairments, instead identified their social status as impacted. The study reports data from in-depth semi-structured interviews with 20 Xhosa men, onegroup interview, and one cultural expert interview. The data was analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). This article identifies Xhosa traditional initiation as a grantor of equality; thus, the participant’s identities remained unimpacted, contrary to existing research about the co-existence of disability and masculinity. However, the lack of the impairment’s diminishing impact on their manhood identities notwithstanding, the participants identified both the impact of impairments on their status, and cultural pathways through which they seek to maintain a respectable social status as men in the communities. This article, therefore, explores these cultural pathways and how the participants negotiate the demands of able-bodied masculinity that often accompany their performance.
