Boys in Trouble and the Trouble with Boys
Coordinator: Hanne
Haavind , Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Oslo
The study group
consists of an international group of researchers that share an interest in
studying young boys and the kinds of trouble that often are associated with
them. Trouble is not to be predefined, but rather to be explored. This means
that we will have to include ways of understanding the trouble with
(some) young boys -how boys in trouble are conveyed, and how they are
handled according to discourses of trouble and conflict, and discourses of
masculinity and about growing up. The particular goal is to search for
knowledge from different contexts around the world.
Results from
pre-conference workshops will be presented at the conference in 2005, but the
thematic session will also be open for papers and posters from individual
participants.
