Abstract

It is important to know about the progress and obstacles that contemporary feminist studies have faced after more than two decades and masculinity studies more recently have had. In addition, it is important to know about the chalenges that there are in Mexican scientific comunities. The first draft of the study of men, masculinity (ies), gender and its development in Mexico is presented from the feminist approach. The lecture will consider the epistemological approaches that have permeated studies of masculinity (ies) from the nineties to the present; topics and research results in some postgrads in social sciences and humanities in public universities and colleges. This task is a part of Gender and History research about the Consolidated Academic Board of Historical Studies at BUAP and History, Gender and Education Master in Gender Studies at Universidad Autonoma de Tlaxcala.
