Katz is an educator, author, and social theorist who created Tough Guise and Tough Guise 2, the award-winning and widely used educational documentaries. His film The Bystander Moment: Transforming Rape Culture at Its Roots was released in late 2018. Katz also is the author of the critically acclaimed books The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help and Man Enough?: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and the Politics of Presidential Masculinity. His latest video, The Man Card: White Male Identity Politics from Nixon to Trump, was released in October 2020.
Since 1990, Katz has delivered thousands of keynote addresses and conducted trainings in all 50 states, eight Canadian provinces, and every continent except Antarctica. He is the co-founder of the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program at Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society. The mixed-gender, multiracial program is one of the longest-running sexual assault and relationship abuse prevention programs in secondary education and higher education. Among its many accomplishments, MVP introduced the bystander approach to the gender violence prevention field; Katz is one of the key architects of this now broadly popular educational strategy.
Katz has appeared on radio and TV programs across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia including The Oprah Winfrey Show and The CBS Morning Show. His TED talk, “Violence against Women is a Men’s Issue,” has been viewed more than four million times.
