Hi! I am currently working on a research project focused on exploring the dynamics of masculinity within the context of the workplace, specifically delving into the concept of "work as a masculinity contest" as discussed in link to the mentioned paper: Article Work as a Masculinity Contest
.As part of my literature review, I am eager to gather insights from a diverse range of perspectives. I am reaching out to request recommendations for books that have significantly contributed to the discourse on masculinity in the workplace, with a particular emphasis on the theme of work as a masculinity contest.
If you have come across any impactful books or publications that shed light on this specific aspect or have broader relevance to masculinity in professional settings, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions.
