About Jackson Katz:

Jackson Katz, Ph.D., is an educator, author, lecturer, and social theorist who is internationally renowned for his pioneering scholarship and activism on issues of gender, race and violence. He has long been a major figure and thought leader in the growing global movement of men working to promote gender equality and prevent gender violence.

He is co-founder of Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP), one of the longest-running and most widely influential gender violence prevention programs in North America, and the first major program of its kind in the sports culture and the military. MVP introduced the “bystander” approach to the sexual assault and relationship abuse fields; Katz is a key architect of this now broadly popular strategy.

Since 1997 he has run MVP Strategies, a mixed-gender, multiracial education and training organization that provides sexual harassment and gender violence prevention/leadership training to institutions in the public and private sectors in U.S. and around the world.

He is the author of two critically acclaimed books, The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How all Men Can Help, and Man Enough? Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and the Politics of Presidential Masculinity.

He is creator, lead writer, and narrator of the award-winning Tough Guise videos. His gender violence prevention work is featured in the 2018 film The Bystander Moment: Transforming Rape Culture at its Roots. He is the creator of the 2020 film The Man Card: White Male Identity Politics from Nixon to Trump.

Katz lectures and trains widely in the U.S. and around the world on the imperative of men’s leadership in the promotion of gender equity and the prevention of gender violence, and the many intersections in this work among gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity and religion.

His TEDx talk, Violence Against Women: It’s a Men’s Issue, is available with sub-titles in 27 languages and has a total of more than 5 million views.
