“…The research instruments included structured survey and narrative questions. A qualitative approach allows us to learn about the complexities of IDP's experiences in displacement in their own words and from their own perspective (Miles and Crush 1993;Byrne 2003;Reeves 2007). Getting in-depth qualitative data on IDPs lives in displacement is necessary because integration into a receiving society is a highly individualized and contextualized process.…”

Over 200,000 people became internally displaced after several violent conflicts in the early 1990s in Georgia. For many internally displaced persons (IDPs), gender relations have been transformed significantly. This translates to many women taking on the role of breadwinner for their family, which often is accompanied by the process of demasculinization for men. In this article, we examine the construction of masculinities and analyze the gendered processes of displacement and living in post-displacement for Georgian IDPs from Abkhazia. We identify the formation of 'traumatic masculinities' as a result of the threats to, though not usurpation of, hegemonic masculinities. Drawing on interviews, we highlight how IDPs conceptualize gender norms and masculinities in Georgia. Despite the disruptions that displacement has brought about, with the subsequent challenges to IDPs' ideal masculine roles, the discourses of hegemonic masculinities still predominate amongst IDPs. We further illustrate this point by identifying two separate gendered discourses of legitimization that attempt to reconcile hegemonic masculinities with the current contexts and circumstances that IDPs face. These new traumatic masculinities do coexist with hegemonic masculinities, although the latter are reformed and redefined as a result of the new contexts and new places within which they are performed.

“…Ní Laoire (2007) indicates that within established ethical frameworks the risks of research are always contingent. Reeves (2007) discusses how research with young people is negotiated in situ within a complex web of ethical strands, including informed consent, confidentiality, being inadvertently coercive, and awareness of causing possible harm. As she and others have highlighted, adopting a narrative method encourages people to talk uncensored about highly personal information.…”

Helping redress the dominance of metropolitan narratives upon which much literature on sexuality is framed, this article interprets the narrative told by a "white" 16-year-old man living in regional Australia. Our aim is to investigate the intersections of migration and homemaking in sexual subject formation. Finding a place to call "home" can be a complex process for young men born in regional Australia and not conforming to the social formations of a "normal guy". This young man's narrative expressively reveals the fluidity and spatiality inherent in processes of negotiating sexual subjectivities. His story provides telling insights into how migration and mobility change his understandings of home and of self by making possible a third-space configured by neither the gender norms of his hometown nor the "gay scene" in Sydney.

“…Despite repeated efforts, aided by the boys and young mens' sexual health co-ordinator, it was not possible to recruit young fathers. Several reports have noted the lack of engagement of fathers, particularly young fathers, with sexual health services15 and the difficulties of engaging them in research 16 17. It was hoped that accessing young fathers via an established service (Young Dads Drop-in) would increase the likelihood of their participation.…”

Background and methodology Despite increasing interest over the last decade or more in men's views of sexual health services and use of contraception, most published literature focuses on women. It is important that the views of boys and young men are better understood, particularly with regard to responsibility for use of contraception. This pilot study aimed to gain insights into young men's views of sexual health services and contraception; fi ve non-fathers aged between 14 and 18 years took part in two focus groups. The groups were recorded, transcribed and analysed using the constant comparative method to build up categories of data. Results Engaging young men in research is very diffi cult, particularly young men who are not in education or employment. Young fathers proved impossible to recruit.
