core readings associated with this module and the four critical lenses described by Brookfield describe a hegemonic assumption that came to your attention during your school placement. Explain how this came to attention and why this assumption can be defined as hegemonic. Critically reflect on this assumption and the implications it has for you as a teacher “Hegemonic assumptions are assumptions that we think are in our own best interests but that actually work against us in the long term “Teacher
An assumption according to the oxford dictionary is defined as ‘A thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.’ According to Brookfield ‘Hegemonic assumptions are assumptions that we think are in our own best interests but that actually work against us in the long term.’ (Stephen D.

In the first chapter “Mothers, Soldiers, and National in the ‘Neutral’ Defense” Kronsell draws from Sweden’s military structure, focusing in
females are sexual reproduction organs. There are other elements like hair growth, breast tissue, and body weight. Gender, however, isn’t as concrete to bodily differences.

Hegemonic masculinity in sports could look like muscular, shirtless men performing difficult athletic tasks and being paid for it, because they are a professional athlete. Emphasized feminity would look like a female athlete in sparse clothing, taking part in a women’s activity (for example: horrible
know hardships that women endure are of the mindset of” we are all equal”. This becomes a regular assumption for most people because most have been trained to recognize from an early age that girls can complete any tasks a male can complete. Which is a traditional value that is constantly stressed upon to an individual who is in adolescents to teach equality to the future generations.

In this paper, I will introduce not only the topic of men and masculinities in collegiate leadership (and what all that means), but also explain the separate identities of “male” and “leader”, elaborate on what the intersection of those identities look like, give information on other intersections of identities (such as LGBT+ identity or religious identity, among others), and make recommendations on how to better support male and masculine leaders (and in turn, all leaders) on our college campuses
