The Good Men Project was founded in 2009 in the United States by Tom Matlack and James Houghton as a way to allow men to tell stories about the defining moments in their lives. The hope was to spark a “national conversation” around the question of “What does it mean to be a good man?”
According to the organization, The Good Men Project is a diverse, multi-media idea based social platform that looks at the changing roles of men in the 21st century.
The Good Men Project has had writers and contributors from all over the world including:
Anthony Angelini,Cameron Conaway, Joanna Schroeder, Kathryn DeHoyos, James Stafford, JJ Vincent, Ben Martin, Lori Ann Lothian, Liam Day, Dillan DiGiovanni, Greg Simms Jr., Neil Hill, Wilhelm Cortez, Kallen Diggs, John K. Anderson, Paul Blest, Allan Mott, Senior Editor Marie Roker-Jones, Charlie Bondhus, Matthew Salesses, Tommy Raskin, Scott Heydt, Thomas Fiffer, Christian Coleman, Thaddeus Howze, Alex Yarde, and Mark Greene. In addition gender studies professor and writer Hugo Schwyzer has contributed, as well as NHL hockey player Andrew Ference, war correspondent Michael Kamber, and author and publisher Jesse Kornbluth.
According to its website, the top issues currently covered by The Good Men Project include essays on the important subjects of the stereotyping of men, raising boys, how men are perceived of as being 'disposable', men in the prison system, relationships, LGBT and gender issues, age and social problems such as the environment. This mix reflects and guides the conversation that men are having about what it means to be a man here and now and their changing and challenging roles in society.
