In the 21st century, countries are no longer represented to the world only by their governments and diplomats. They are also represented by their corporations, brands, universities, tourism industries, media organisations, entrepreneurs, digital creators, and ordinary citizens.

You are all kindly invited to participate and submit a paper in the First Sri Lankan " International Conference on Men and Masculinity" at the University of Kelaniya, Kelaniya, Sri Lanka.

International Conference on Men and Masculinity

University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka

16-18 February 2027

https://icmm.kln.ac.lk/
Supported by the University of Kelaniya (Sri Lanka), Newcastle University (UK), and AMSA: International Network for Masculinity Studies (USA), the conference grows from a recognition that what we describe as “international” academic exchange remains too often centred in the Global North. Where conferences are held matters: it shapes who can participate, whose scholarship becomes visible, which conversations are amplified, and who is too often expected to travel - financially and geographically - to join them.

We wanted to do something different.

Holding this conference in Sri Lanka is therefore a deliberate choice. It is about creating a genuinely international space in South Asia: one that recognises the region not as peripheral to masculinity studies, but as a place where important conversations, research and creative work are already happening, while bringing these into dialogue with scholars, practitioners and creatives from across the world.

And we want the conference to be genuinely interdisciplinary and inclusive.

You do not need to identify as a “masculinity studies scholar” to take part. We welcome contributions engaging with masculinities from any discipline, profession or area of creative practice - including health and wellbeing, literature, film, digital cultures, education, religion, violence and conflict, sexuality, politics, media, arts and many others.

We are also encouraging different ways of participating. Alongside individual papers and organised panels, we welcome workshops, roundtables, film screenings, photography and art exhibitions, performances, posters and other creative approaches.

The conference team is particularly keen that this reaches students, early-career researchers, academics, practitioners and creatives across South Asia, as well as colleagues internationally.

Please do have a look at the full Call for Papers — and I’d be very grateful if you could share this with colleagues, students and networks who might want to be part of the conversation.

We hope the conference can contribute, in a small but meaningful way, to widening where international conversations about masculinities take place, who gets to participate in them, and whose work is heard.
