Responding to increasing concerns about the harmful effects of
so-called 'lad culture' in British universities, and related 'bro'
and 'frat' cultures in US colleges, this book is the first to
explore and analyse the perspectives of university staff on these
cultures, which students suggest foster the normalisation of
sexism, homophobia, racism, sexual harassment and violence. Drawing
on in-depth interviews with a broad range of staff and faculty
across different types of universities in England, the book
explores the following key questions: What is lad culture? How and
where is it manifest in higher education and what are the effects
on students and staff? How can 'laddish' behaviour be explained?
How can we theorise lad culture to enable us to better understand
and challenge it? How do dynamics in the United Kingdom compare to
so-called 'bro' and 'frat' cultures in US colleges? By examining
the ways in which lad culture is understood and explained, the
authors illustrate that current understandings of lad culture
obscure the broader processes through which problematic attitudes,
practices, and educational climates are fostered. This analysis
enables a theorisation of lad culture that makes visible the
gendered norms and intersecting structural inequalities that
underpin it. This timely and accessible volume will be of great
interest to anyone looking to understand and tackle sexism, sexual
harassment and violence in and beyond university contexts. It will
be of particular significance to researchers, undergraduate and
postgraduate students, academics, and policy makers in the fields
of gender and sexuality in education, higher education, and
sociology of education.
Until recently, higher education in the UK has largely failed to
recognise gender-based violence (GBV) on campus, but following the
UK government task force set up in 2015, universities are becoming
more aware of the issue. And recent cases in the media about the
sexualised abuse of power in institutions such as universities,
Parliament and Hollywood highlight the prevalence and damaging
impact of GBV. In this book, academics and practitioners provide
the first in-depth overview of research and practice in GBV in
universities. They set out the international context of ideologies,
politics and institutional structures that underlie responses to
GBV in elsewhere in Europe, in the US, and in Australia, and
consider the implications of implementing related policy and
practice. Presenting examples of innovative British approaches to
engagement with the issue, the book also considers UK, EU and UN
legislation to give an international perspective, making it of
direct use to discussions of 'what works' in preventing GBV.
