This video is a commercial from Guinness depicted men in wheelchairs playing basketball. I use this video during a week on the intersections of
gender, health, and bodies. I find it is
useful to illustrate some of our assumptions about masculinity. For example, I ask:
- What assumptions do we have about masculinity and bodies?
- What characteristics or qualities in men does this ad valorize?
It would be nicely paired with this article: Coston and
Kimmel. 2012. “Seeing Privilege Where It Isn’t: Marginalized Masculinities and
the Intersectionality of Privilege.” Journal
of Social Issues 68(1): 97-111.
