Bring Me Men: U.S. Empire And The Masculine Paradox

Professor Belkin specializes in military masculinity and sexuality in the armed forces. He has published 20 peer-reviewed journal articles, chapters, and books, including Counterfactual Thought Experiments in World Politics (Princeton University Press, 1996, co-edited with Philip Tetlock), and United We Stand? Divide and Conquer Politics and the Logic of International Hostility (SUNY Press, 2005). Currently, he is working on a book about contradictions which structure military masculinity.  Prior to his arrival at SFSU, he was an associate professor of political science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, associate professor of psychology at CUNY Hunter, visiting member of the political science faculty at Stanford University, a MacArthur Foundation postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley, and a pre-doctoral fellow at the Center for International Security and Arms Control at Stanford.  Professor Belkin is founder and Director of the Palm Center (http://www.palmcenter.org). In that capacity, he has devoted considerable attention to the question of research translation, in other words how to use social science to engage with public, non-academic audiences. His research has been covered widely by the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, NPR, CNN and national network news.
