Research interests

Jason's research interests focus on contemporary masculinities, exploring how men navigate masculine identities in a range of contexts.

Specifically, Jason has conducted research on the changing roles of fatherhood and the ways in which men 'care for' and 'care about' their children across parental spaces.

Alongside this work, Jason has also investigated the help-seeking practices of men who are survivors of sexual violence, exploring the spatial and temporal faceats of men's interactions with care and trauma services.

Jason is also interested in how gender and sexual identity overlap and interact, particularly in the context of bi+ men's sexual encounters. Here Jason's work explores feelings liminality experienced by bi+ men as they navigate predominently heterosexual and queer social worlds.

Approach to teaching

Jason adopts a range of methods in his teaching practices, using active learning strategies (including discussion, debate, and reflection) to encourage and foster curiosity and critical thinking about knowledge to question taken-for-granted assumptions relating to everyday lives. Jason understands the classroom as space for the co-construction of knowledge, and encourages students to situate their own lives in academic literature.
