This book is about men and the notion of the self: particularly, how men construct and negotiate matters of the self, and how self relates to others. It is also about qualitative research methods and how methods can be utilised to capture and frame men’s self talk. The book explores talk in the context of gender research and how talk relates to other forms of communication. It provides a discussion of qualitative research methods that are engaged with issues concerning the self and identity and offers an in-depth appraisal of a mixed methods approach designed to engage with the different ways that men talk about themselves. The book will be of interest to researchers and students across the fields of Masculinity Studies, Communication, Qualitative Research Methods, and Sociology, who are interested in issues to do with the self and identity, as well as those who are engaged in research involving men.
