What influence do male role-models, chiefly fathers, have on boys' perceptions of masculinity? This is a question asked by Professor Michael Flood, the Co-Program Leader for the Access to Justice programme. His research focuses on gender, sexuality, and interpersonal violence. Throughout his career he's made significant contributions to scholarly and community understanding of men's and boys' involvements in preventing violence against women. He was the man behind The Man Box - a national survey of Australian men aged 18 to 30, the first of its kind, providing valuable data about young men's experiences and perceptions of gender. Professor Michael Flood speaks with Susie.
