Academic Services invites you to attend the Winter 2012 University of Guelph-Humber Lecture Series, featuring Justice Studies professor, Nitin Deckha, PhD.

What’s going on with today’s young men? From lower test scores, lower rates of enrolment in higher education to higher rates of unemployment, so many young men seem to be underachieving, disengaged and unprepared. In this lecture, Nitin Deckha, PhD, will explore this problem by examining studies from North America and beyond. Pop culture representations of young men and masculinity as well as emerging insights from Deckha's own research on young men’s educational experiences and perceptions of success will also be discussed.

Registration is very limited! Please RSVP to academicservices@guelphhumber.ca.
