Activity of Suomen Miestutkimuksen Seura [Finnish Society for Studies on Men]

SUMS is a research community and hence does not, as an organisation, take any standpoint on men's involvement in gender equality. The purpose is to further the advancement of gender studies on men and masculinities and to further gender equality by providing policy-makers with scientific knowledge. The focus is mainly on Critical Studies on Men. Maintains relations with fellow researchers in the other Nordic countries. Furthers the development of new textbooks on the topic.
