This study by focusing on the Syrian refugee men living in Ankara’s lower-class neighborhoods aims
to draw an image of the impacts of the crucial conditions such as the war, the forced migration and
the poverty on their masculinities. In this context, this study intends to answer the following questions:
What are the forms of masculinities in crises and how are they perceived by Syrian men? How new
masculinities are mediated through the conditions of forced migration and urban poverty in the case
of Syrian refugee men in some neighborhoods in Ankara? This fieldwork uses qualitative research
methods such as in-depth interviews with Syrian refugee men in Ankara.
Key Words: Masculinities, Crisis, Forced Migration, Urban Poverty, Syrian War.
