Abstract

Data gathered from interviews with six male token students and twelve female students at a historical women's college both before and after the college's transition to a coeducational institution (between 2002 and 2005) are analyzed from three interrelated theoretical approaches - tokenism, gendered organizations, and hegemonic masculinity. The study provides particular insights into how individuals and organizations negotiate around and/or with hegemonic masculinity in a process of "doing gender". ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
