Misogyny, the Manosphere, Incel & Influencers - Staff Training
Explore how the digital landscape is shaping narratives, attitudes and behaviours around gender roles and stereotypes
This session is a practical and positive exploration of concepts like "the manosphere", "toxic masculinity" and "incel".
The impact of online influencers with strong narratives around masculinity and misogyny has been widely covered in the media and beyond. In this session we explore the concerns for pupils around this area. We will develop an understanding of some of the commone concepts, vocabulary and worldviews that are prevelant in this type of content and community. We will also discuss positive ways to respond and how best to support students exposed to these narratives.
