What men need to champion gender equality

Jean-René Leblanc, professor of digital arts at the University of Calgary, aims to find out if common portrayals of the cowboy reflect their reality or stereotypes about cowboy culture. With a SSHRC grant, Leblanc is extending his research into masculinity and recruiting rodeo cowboys around Alberta to interview about their lives, work and objects that are important to their identity. The final art pieces will be presented to the public through augmented and virtual reality.
