The erasure of sexual harassment in elite private boys’ schools

Abstract: This paper details the gendered oppressions of young female teachers in three elite boys' private schools in Australia. Drawing on Foucauldian analytics and the theory of practice architectures, we explore the discourses and practices that work together to silence and disempower female teachers in these schools. There is an unevenness in these accounts, as there are also female teachers in the study who appear to successfully circumnavigate these issues.

“…According to the study, 10% of young people aged 14-24 sent or published images of themselves with sexual overtones, 15% received such messages directly from someone else [21].

“…Sexual harassment and school violence were amongst the strategic directions envisaged by the earlier policy Gender Equity: A Framework for Australian Schools (1997) and remain matters of concern (Gannon, 2019;Higham, 2018;Saltmarsh et al, 2012;Variyan & Wilkinson, 2021;Wescott et al, 2023). However, acknowledgment of the widespread impacts of homophobia was barely there in early policy work (Gannon & Robinson, 2021;Jones & Hillier, 2012).…”
