Born Robert W. Connell, Raewyn Connell is an Australian sociologist. Outside of Australia, she is best known for studies of the social construction of masculinity.
- Hegemonic Masculinity: Male supremacy, power & authority, hetrosexuality, aggression, 'laddish' culture, can be macho & sexist, value physical strength, traditional role, can objectify women.
- Subordinate Masculinity: a masculinity associated with gay men who are stereotypically viewed as behaving differently to the expectations of the dominant hegemonic male.
- Marginalised Masculinity: labour market has meant they can no longer assume there will be jobs for them after school, leaving many with a crisis, sense of loss & disconnectedness.
- Complicit Masculinity: a masculinity which new men, for example, might be said to adopt in taking on a shared role in the family.
