BBC Radio 4 Extra - A Woman's World, Women's Studies

A male professor talks about his work as a man on the fringe of academic feminism.

A male professor, teaching Women's Studies, talks about his work as a man on the fringe of academic feminism. From December 2010.

Professor Jeff Hearn talks to Chris Ledgard about his relationship with the academic world of Women's Studies. After a group of female staff at Bradford University set up the UK's second Women's Studies postgraduate course in the early 1980s, Jeff Hearn was asked to teach on it. Professor Hearn - who describes himself as a profeminist - found himself, he says, "on an ambiguous margin of Women's Studies." Now a professor of Gender Studies in Sweden, he and his colleagues discuss his work as a man on the fringe of academic feminism.
