Publications and Special Projects
The official journal of AMSA is the Journal of Men's Studies, published by Men's Studies Press. JMS is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to providing an interdisciplinary forum for the critical discussion of issues involving men and masculinities and for disseminating new knowledge about men’s lives to a broad audience that includes scholars, practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and students. The Journal of Men’s Studies publishes research—both theoretical and empirical—in the emergent men’s studies field, recognizing the varied influences of class, culture, race, and sexual orientation on defining men’s experiences. The journal’s cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural character disseminates material by men’s studies scholars from various perspectives (political, social, cultural, and historical) as well as various disciplines (anthropology, sociology, history, psychology, literature, theology).
As part of its mission, the American Men’s Studies Association has collected men’s studies course syllabi as a resource for people who are developing a course or looking at what is taught in the field. The growing collection, the Men's Studies Syllabus Project, is located on the AMSA webpage.
In 2005, the Board of Directors established the Loren Frankel Student Scholarship Fund in 2005. Dr. Frankel was an inspiring teacher, an accomplished scholar, and a respected colleague. AMSA honored his memory with the establishment of this fund to support students engaged in the critical study of men and masculinities. This fund provides up to $500 each year to a qualified student or students attending and presenting at the annual AMSA Men’s Studies Conference. Graduate and undergraduate students who are attending and presenting at the annual AMSA conference are eligible for the award.

“Dr. Calder [a Unitarian minister] said of Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on the publications of Boswell and Mrs. Piozzi, that he was like Actaeon, torn to pieces by his own pack.”

“People generally will soon understand that writers should be judged, not according to rules and species, which are contrary to nature and art, but according to the immutable principles of the art of composition, and the special laws of their individual temperaments.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
