Masculinities and Discourses of Men's Health cover

This book brings together a collection of case studies that explore the relationship between health and masculinity. It covers various topics related to health, such as mental health, sexual health, eating disorders and coronavirus, and offers health-based perspectives on issues such as migration and gender identity, as these relate to masculinities. In exploring these themes, this book addresses a wide range of communicative contexts, including online forums, interviews, advertising, sex education materials, migrant integration classes, and suicide notes. This book will appeal to linguists interested in health and gender (particularly masculinities), as well as scholars in fields such as psychology, media studies, cultural studies, and other humanities and social science disciplines with a focus on discourse.

“This volume presents a valuable resource for viewing the multiple ways that interaction and language, both in person and online, reflect, recreate, and perpetuate HM in different contexts, and includes an impressive global diversity. It will likely prove to be an important starting point for what one hopes will be further work in this area.” (Scott Kiesling, Language in Society, Vol. 55 (3), June, 2026)
