Recruitment: 2 PhD students in scientific project MASCULINITY NAVIGATOR – unpacking the relationship between masculine roles, well-being, and gender equality (EQUAMAN), financed by OPUS 21 grant

University of Gdańsk, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Psychology is recruiting two PhD students/students positions in the project: MASCULINITY NAVIGATOR – unpacking the relationship between masculine roles, well-being, and gender equality (EQUAMAN), financed by OPUS 21 grant from the National Science Centre in Poland (2021/41/B/HS6/00617) awarded to Natasza Kosakowska-Berezecka.

In this 3-year project, a team of interdisciplinary researchers including psychological and sociological scientists from Poland (University of Gdańsk) and Norway (UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Tromso) will focus on the important, though understudied, topic of men’s participation in gender equality. We will analyse 1) how understanding gender roles and gender equality might help boys and men improve their well-being, and 2) which factors predict men’s participation in gender equality movements. This is a novel approach to the topic of masculinity and well-being, and we want to investigate it through different perspectives using suitable methods – focus group interviews, surveys, experimental studies and workshops conducted in schools and at universities (some of the studies will be conducted in Norway and Poland).
