Abstract:
This text recalls the two-decade long academic journey of an activist, researcher and teacher on topics related to gender and health. It restores the meaning of emerging questions about men and masculinities from a gender perspective, taking a relational, historical, inclusive, dialectical stand to address power, and the relations of subordination underlying when men and women met or miss each other. Colombian itineraries are contextualized in parallel with the International Men and Masculinities Studies Colloquia Series, and specific references to a "gender-sensitive" and "social health" approach shared with the Gender and Collective Health Network with the Latin American Association of Social Medicine, in order to contribute to the memory of an itinerary by a collective of people who gather at and recognize themselves as part of the Men and Masculinities Studies International Network, generated in that same path, still active today.
