Andrew Manno, Ph.D. is a Professor of English at Raritan Valley Community College in New Jersey. He teaches courses in writing, Women’s and Gender Studies, and Men and Masculinities. His research focuses on masculinities and popular culture.

Examines poker as a gendered activity, and specifically how valued characteristics of orthodox masculinity are embedded in the rhetoric of the game, as well as in our larger culture

Connects the rise in poker's popularity to the increase of inter-related social problems, such as toxic masculinity, the impact of casino capitalism, and post-industrial worker disenfranchisement

Demonstrates how the Poker Mindset protects the status quo and reinforces orthodox masculine gender values, maintaining and exacerbating damaging systems of inequality
