Journal Article
Disabled Masculinities: A Review and Suggestions for Further Research
2014
Overview
This article provides an overview of the existing sociological literature relating to disabled masculinities, a field of enquiry that has undergone substantial development over the past two decades. I contend that previous studies have insightfully uncovered the social forces that have established a “dilemma of disabled masculinity” within contemporary Western societies, as well as the complex, contextualised and multiple ways in which disabled men negotiate this dilemma. To foster the further development of the field, I suggest three potentially productive lines for future enquiry. Specifically, I support greater attention to the issue of comparative diversity between impairment categories, a consideration of the generative role that disability may have in relation to masculinity, and more sustained enquiry into how changing constructions of masculinity inflect the lives of disabled men.
