Abstract

Our aim in this article is to provide readers with a critical overview of some of the recent research in psychology, sociology, geography and critical masculinity studies with a focus on rural places and masculinities. We begin our critical review of rural masculinities with a discussion of hegemonic masculinity, a concept well known to theorists of masculinities, before providing an overview of the literature on rural men, which leads into to a larger theoretical discussion about the nature of masculinities and rural studies. We discuss how we can operationalize these theories and answer the question, are rural Prairie masculinities hegemonic masculinities. We argue that scholars must do more to unpack the complexity and relationality of masculinities that take place across changing rural settings.
