We talk to scholar, community organizer, and activist Scott Emerson about the Future of Masculinity. Alongside a discussion of Octavia Butler’s Afrofuturist classic Parable of the Sower (1993), Emerson discusses his theory of revolutionary masculinity -- a theory which lays the groundwork for moving beyond critiques of toxic masculinity and begins to imagine the possibilities for masculinities that revolve around flexibility, adaptability, and around using privilege to fight for radical change.
This episode is part of an ongoing series titled THE FUTURE OF…, where we chat with experts in various sectors to learn about what they are doing to shift the critical now for a radical new future.
