Dr. Paul M. Pulé dedicates his life to transforming traditional notions of masculinities to include broader, deeper, and wider care.

He is an Australian gender and environment activist, scholar and social entrepreneur specialising in men’s lives and their impacts on planet, people and self. Paul researches, writes and educates on the intersections between masculine identities and environmental care. Providing contra-hegemonic contributions to university course content on gender and environment, his work also appears in numerous academic texts and popular science reports on the transitions of masculinities from daring to caring.

Paul has become a leading voice on profeminist social constructions of masculinities that support systemic transformations towards a socially and ecologically just world. Further to his peer-reviewed publications, Paul’s work is most accessible through his monograph titled: Ecological Masculinities: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Guidance (2018), which explored the costs of toxic swaggers on planet, people and self, while seeking alternatives that celebrate a deep green future for all of life; followed by his anthology titled: Men, Masculinities and Earth: Contending with the (m)Anthropocene, which gathered together views on the ecologising of masculinities from sociologists, gender scholars, historians, creative writers and activists as the work he instigated grows and diversifies.

Paul’s current research explores the ecoqueered and ecospiritual aspects of ecological masculinities both conceptually and as praxes.
