Abstract

This chapter was written autoethnographically, which uses the self-as-event—a type of “research, writing, story and method that connect the autobiographical and personal to the cultural, social and political. Autoethnographic forms feature concrete action, emotion, embodiment, self-consciousness, and introspection portrayed in dialogue, scenes, characterisation, and plot”. While his autoethnographic work usually centres around race-critical analyses, the author have found this methodology particularly useful for discussions around the other intersections of oppression. It is his hope that the reader has been able to take something valuable away from this autoethnographic exploration of hegemonic masculinity. It was the middle of the all-male residential college's orientation week—a week geared towards ostensibly building camaraderie among the freshmen who would be calling the residential college home for the coming year.
