​Tom Digby is the author of Love & War: How Militarism Shapes Sexualityg and Romance (Columbia University Press, 2017 Choice Award). Here is what philosopher Sandra Bartky, author of Femininity and Domination, said about the book: "Love and War is a joy to read, indeed, a page turner. Tom Digby opens up a whole new way of understanding the problems intrinsic to heterosexual love, as well as the impact of misogyny in the everyday lives of men and women. His compelling descriptions of the interplay of gender and militarism will significantly alter the way we understand masculinity, sexuality, romantic love, misogyny, and even war itself. For specialists in gender studies like myself, ​Love and War will be recognized as a major and profoundly stimulating contribution to our field. The book will also appeal to a broad audience, thanks to Digby's highly engaging, conversational writing style."

Dr. Digby's public presentations about the intersections of masculinity, militarism, love, sexuality, and feminism have been widely praised as moving, profound, stimulating, and entertaining (see the "Lecture Comments" tab above.) Faculty and students often remark on the lasting impact that his talks have on audiences.

Tom Digby is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Springfield College and has served as U.S. Advisory Editor of the journal Men and Masculinities since it was founded in 1998. His previous book was Men Doing Feminism (Routledge). Digby's early publications were on Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Kant, and ethical theory, but for the past 30 years he has written, lectured, and taught primarily about gender topics.
