Join Dr Gcobani Qambela and Dr Tinashe Mushakavanhu for a discussion on the sexual socialisation of boys, along with the diverse meanings they attach to their sexual experiences. The speakers will trace both the development of masculinities over the life course of boys and young men while at the same time looking closely at how young people have been socialised sexually.

He is working on two monographs focusing on ‘The Anthropology of Boyhoods’ and the interior lives of men living in conditions of economic and structural violence. He teaches Childhoods and Youth, Anthropological Theories and Medical Anthropology.
Dr. Tinashe Mushakavanhu is a Junior Research Fellow in African & Comparative Literature at St Anne's College, University of Oxford.
