This forum acknowledges the impact that school sport has and continues to have through the exaltation and elevation of a particular masculinity, namely one of muscularity and competitiveness. A select group of international scholars are invited to participate in this unique opportunity designed to bring together, for the first time, some of the most influential and prominent researchers intersecting masculinities, bodies, and health education. Through plenary sessions that problematize bodies, masculinities and body image issues among adolescent boys, these meetings will powerfully connect international researchers, educators, health partners and policy makers and allow for a set of clear and comprehensive directives and outcomes with a tangible and significant impact in the form of publications, public media engagement, and future projects and study.

• Following the forum participants interested in submitting a manuscript for consideration in a special issue publication, are invited to do so by contacting mkehler@uwo.ca
• Participation in the plenary sessions as well as attendance, is limited to 60 people
