Rob will be focusing on Profeminism:  One of the Most Important Social Justice Movements You’ve Never Heard of:


Blending three and half decades of history with front line accounts of contemporary expressions of evolving masculinities, “Profeminism” is both a primer on the profeminist men’s movement and introduces audiences to a larger conversation: men as participants vs. men as bystanders in the struggle for gender justice today.
