Panel Discussion

“Are the Boys Ok? Growing Up White, Rural and Male in a Changing World”

Adirondack Center for Writing, Saranac Lake, NY
January 15, 2026, 7-8:30pm

Young white men in rural areas are coming of age at the intersection of three major forces: a rapidly warming planet and changing social, economic and political landscapes that unsettle traditional models of masculinity. Join us for a lively conversation with three experts as they draw from ongoing comparative social science and artistic research projects to explore why some men feel alienated from climate action and social justice movements, and disenfranchised in rural economies.

A conversation with: Joseph Henderson, Educational Anthropologist; Shawndel N. Fraser, Environmental Psychologist; and Adam Dewbury, Economic Anthropologist
