New Publication Interrogating White Supremacy in College Men

A new article was published with my colleagues, Drs. Christina Witkowicki and Kyle C. Ashlee, in the Journal of Critical Scholarship on Higher Education and Student Affairs (JCHESA). JCHESA is one of the leading journals in HESA scholarship which exclusively publishes scholarship using critical frameworks. This new published article entitled, “Angry White Men on Campus: Theoretical Perspectives and Recommended Responses.” explores the ways in which student affairs professionals and higher education/student affairs graduate programs are complicit in a larger system that reinforces college male white supremacy which has given rise to increased student activism among white college men. We posit that many white college men have engaged in protest masculinity to assume a degree of marginality because they hold a sentiment of dispossession and are obscured by their own privilege and lack of critical reflection. I, along with my coauthors, explore the critical frameworks of hegemonic masculinity, the theory of dispossession, anomic protest masculinity, and white men’s disengagement to make recommendations to inform student affairs practice. We further suggest some specific approaches to engage white college men to address protest masculinity.
