Kimmel is also a well-known educator concerning gender issues. A Professor of Sociology at SUNY at Stony Brook, he teaches, among other courses, Sociology of Masculinity, one of the few courses in the nation that examines men’s lives from a pro-feminist perspective. His teaching has been featured in newspaper and magazine articles (The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Newsweek, People) and television shows, such as Donahue, Sonia Live, The Today Show, CNN, Smithsonian World, Bertice Berry, and Crossfire, and numerous radio shows, including The Diane Rehm Show on National Public Radio. His co-edited college textbook, Men’s Lives (7th edition, 2007) has been adopted in virtually every course on men and masculinity in the country. Kimmel’s book, The Gendered Society (3rd edition, 2007) and its companion volume of readings, has become one of the nation’s best-selling texts in social science courses in Gender Studies.

His written work has appeared in dozens of magazines, newspapers and scholarly journals, including The New York Times Book Review, The Harvard Business Review, The Nation, The Village Voice, The Washington Post, and Psychology Today, where he was a Contributing Editor and columnist on male-female relationships. On the basis of his expertise, Kimmel served as an expert witness for the U.S. Department of Justice in the VMI and Citadel cases.

Kimmel is National Spokesperson for the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS), and has lectured at over 200 colleges and universities, and run workshops for organizations and public sector organizations on preventing sexual harassment and implementing gender equity, and for campus groups on date and acquaintance rape, sexual assault, pornography, and the changing relations between women and men.
