Male Students in Peril - KSU Conference
Event Information
Description
Men and boys are human beings who matter.
Men are a present minority in universities across the globe, and a declining demographic in terms of educational attainment and well-being. [1][2] They are cast as rapists, violent criminals, or indirectly responsible parties to male criminals by corrupt scholars or politicians [1][2][3][4]. Men are increasingly subjected to violations of due process. [1][2][3] Unsurprisingly, men now commit suicide 4 times more often than women during college.
Enough is enough.
Kennesaw State University Men (KSUM) is hosting a conference on men's rights in education.
Prominent social science experts and leaders in the men's rights community are coming down to Kennesaw State University on November 1st to lay down facts that you will not hear in the typical gender studies program.
By attending this event, you will learn about the invisible suffering of men and boys and about how you can make a difference from a panel of expert activists and scholars.
You do not have to be a KSU student to attend this event.
If you cannot attend, but want to support the event, please consider donating or volunteering to help cover preperation costs.
Conference Program
Johnathan Taylor (Keynote) is the founder of A Voice for Male Students (AVFMS), and a former instructor of composition and argumentation. Armed with a wealth of statistics and records of bigotry in academia, he has made AVFMS the go-to resource on the inequities suffered by males in academia.
Karen Straughen (AKA GirlWritesWhat) is a Canadian writer, lecturer and videographer known for her encyclopedic treatises on the gender zeitgeist. Her anti-feminist accounts were presented at the New York Libertarian Party, Ryerson University, on CTV, and from a panel seat next to a flabbergasted Naomi Wolf. Karen's comprehensive knowledge of gender relations, both modern and historical, often serves as a gateway drug for fence-sitters new to the antifeminist perspective.
Janice Fiamengo, Ph.D is a Professor of English at the University of Ottawa, and a former feminist. She has spoken out against the double standards and dogma that permeate feminist scholarship, often in the face of student protest. Fiamengo is becoming a more powerful voice in the men's movement due to her resiliance in the face of academic animosity.
Paul Elam, a former mental health professional, is the founder of A Voice For Men, the flagship organization of men's rights advocacy. His provacative, insightful satire is shadowed only by the trail of fire left by the massive A Voice For Men community, which now consists of 24/7 Internet radio broadcasts and subsidiary publications in Italy, Brazil, Sweden, Ecuador and Australia.
Sage Gerard (Event Organizer; Master of Ceremonies) is the founder of KSU Men, the first men's rights student organization in the Southeast United States. Sage was interviewed by USA Today and Mother Jones for his activism lobbying administrators, auditing university programs and acting as a pragmatic liason for activists. Sage currently serves as the Collegiate Activism Director of A Voice for Men.
Paper or digital tickets must be presented at the entrance of the event.
