Karen Straughan (GirlWritesWhat) announces the fifth International Conference on Men’s Issues – Chicago, 16-18 August, 2019

Karen Straughan has just posted this (video, 9:58). The organizers are the Honey Badger Brigade, of which she’s a key member.

The ICMI19 website is here. You have until 1 March to take advantage of the “Early Bird Special”, to order tickets at US$319.99 (a printed shirt is included). We recommend you take advantage of the excellent hotel accommodation offer.

One of the conference speakers will be Philip Davies MP, who gave a well-received talk at the 2016 conference at Excel London, The Justice Gender Gap. In November 2018, during his introduction to the House of Commons debate commemorating International Men’s Day, he became the first person in British political history to explain in a parliamentary debate that inflicting non-therapeutic circumcision on male minors (Male Genital Mutilation, MGM) is a criminal offence under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. Video here (4:26).

Both Elizabeth Hobson and I are looking forward to attending the event, and giving presentations.

Playlists of the 70+ presentations (and other materials, e.g. speaker interviews) at the former conferences in the series can be found on playlists on our YouTube channel:

Detroit (2014).

London (2016).

Gold Coast, Australia (2017).

We confidently expect the Chicago conference will be the best conference in the series to date, and we look forward to seeing many of you there.

If everyone who read this gave us £10.00 – or even better, £10.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
