Matthew Gutmann's research and teaching focuses on gender, health, politics, and ethnography in Mexico, the United States, and China.
In Mexico City, he has done research on two major issues: one is changing male identities and practices with respect to fathering, sexuality, housework, alcohol, violence, and the cultural history of machismo ( The Meanings of Macho: Being a Man in Mexico City , California 1996, 2006). And, the second research topic was popular politics as seen through participation in and abstention from elections, responses from "below" to the North American Free Trade Agreement and expressions of Mexican nationalism, as well as romantic notions of agency, resistance, and democracy ( The Romance of Democracy: Compliant Defiance in Contemporary Mexico , California 2002). He also has done research in Oaxaca, Mexico, regarding men's reproductive health and sexuality through ethnographic fieldwork in two vasectomy clinics, a government AIDS clinic, and among indigenous midwives, doctors, and healers ( Fixing Men: Sex, Birth Control, and AIDS in Mexico , California 2007). With Catherine Lutz he wrote Breaking Ranks: Iraq Veterans Speak Out against the War (California, 2010).
Most of Gutmann's ethnographic research has been conducted in Mexico and China. He has also conducted collaborative research on/with UN Peacekeepers in Haiti and Lebanon.
