Abstract
The 1st International Conference on Men and Masculinities was organized by Initiative for Critical Studies of Masculinities focused on militarism, nationalism, literature, media studies, culture, identity, politics and social construction of masculinities and how these phenomena characterize the transformation of masculinities in a global world. The verbal presentations, workshops, panels and forums stimulated the discussion around changing masculinities and provided an opportunity to exchange research experiences for future studies. The most important gain of the symposium was the opportunity of knowing each other and benefiting from a larger society all over the world by involving in theoretical and experiential demonstrations of masculinities.
