NORMA is an international and interdisciplinary journal that promotes high quality research that in various ways deals with masculine gender configurations, and investigates masculinity and its meanings in and through bodily, political, social and textual practices and structures.

We aim to strengthen theoretical and methodological developments and present new thematic and interdisciplinary aspects of critical studies of men and masculinities in an intersectional perspective. We are eager to engage with and advance pro/feminist conversations on gender and social equality relevant to the study of men and masculinities. While the journal was begun in the Nordic region, we strongly invite scholarly work from all parts of the world, as well as work with transnational orientations.
