Abstract or Description

Masculinities research has started to explore the possibility of alternative manhood among migrant men. This paper aims to contribute to this emerging work by touching upon a less-explored subject in relation to hegemonic masculinity and migration and the perceptions towards sexual violence in the UK. Thirty participants were interviewed, and the data were analysed using framework analysis. The discourses such as ‘gheirat’ and ‘real man’ and ‘complete Iranian man’ showed that Connell's concept of hegemonic masculinity is useful, but does not provide an adequate theoretical framework for analysing other forms of masculinities in the migration studies. Hence a new concept, ‘hegemonic Islamic masculinities’, is introduced as the subsection of hegemonic masculinity to contextualise the lived experience of Iranian men to sexual violence in the UK
