Author explores delayed adulthood in lecture
Michael Kimmel
Making the leap from adolescent to adult has always been a gradual process, but increasingly for many young people — and for men in particular — that transition is taking longer now than it did decades ago.
Author and sociologist Michael Kimmel, a leading researcher and writer on men and masculinity, will discuss this new stage of development during a free public lecture March 1. The event, organized by UNL's Women's and Gender Studies Program and the UNL Women's Center, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union auditorium. Read more about this lecture in Today@UNL.
