City of Men: Book talk with Dr Romit Chowdhury

In his new book, City of Men: Masculinities and Everyday Morality on Public Transport, Dr Romit Chowdhury (Erasmus University College, Rotterdam) works with ethnographic descriptions of copresence on public transport in Kolkata to bring into sight the gendered logics of cooperation and everyday morality through which masculinities take up space in cities. How do men experience gender in city spaces? What are the interactional dynamics between different groups of men on city streets? How do men adjudicate between good and bad conduct in urban spaces?

Join us for a talk from Dr Chowdhury on these fascinating questions, in discussion with Dr CQ Quinan (Gender Studies, UoM).
