Dr. John Oliffe

Dr. John Oliffe is a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Men's Health Promotion at the University of British Columbia with a cross-appointment at the University of Melbourne, Australia.D. Dr. Oliffe's presentation draws on findings from two nationally funded studies to explore how men build relationships, focusing on intimate partner relationships and peer support among young men (19-44 years old). It examines how men align with neo-traditional, egalitarian, and progressive masculinities and unpacks the role of alcohol in male peer interactions as a tool for connection and mental health promotion.
