Professor Peter Nardi Quoted in New York Times on Men's Friendships

Professor Peter Nardi was quoted in the February 10 Sunday edition of the New York Times in an article about men's friendships, "We're Friends, Right?" The article focuses on the friendships between athletes, and when there is a clash between conflicting values.

"Peter M. Nardi, a professor of sociology at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif., who has written about heterosexual and gay male friendships, said the nature of bonds could also vary depending on ethnicity, sexual orientation and social class. Gay men, for example, share issues of identity and disclose more to each other than heterosexual men do."
