Addressing Hate Crime and Incidents in Neoliberal Universities
An Examination of Universitiesā Policies
About this book
While contemporary European universities are often imagined to be a forward-thinking environment fostering acceptance and inclusivity, universities can be crucial sites for the reproduction of oppression. As modern universities diversify, they increasingly become the first site where young people are confronted with diversity, leading to ignorant biases and, sometimes, targeted violence. In Addressing Hate Crime and Incidents in Neoliberal Universities: An Examination of Universities' Policies, criminologist Kahyeng Chai takes readers on a behind-the-scenes examination of prejudice in modern higher education, covering numerous hot-button issues including sexism, islamophobia, racism, misogynoir, homophobia, and antisemitism.
Chai tackles this thorny topic through a thorough analysis of various national studies, news reports, and academic research, from the landmark study conducted by the National Union of Students in 2011 to the '2019 survey conducted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Despite laudable progress across the English higher education sector, a lack of clarity around reportable behaviours, understanding towards students' experiences of racial harassment, and awareness among students of such policies means the extant policies have room for improvement. Chai, however, establishes a new, effective policy for addressing students' experiences of hate crime and incidents, utilising an innovative new theoretical framework: institutional critical victimology.
Packed with fieldwork, policy analyses, and rock-solid next steps, Addressing Hate Crime and Incidents in Neoliberal Universities provides unique insights and guidance on how modern higher education institutions globally can learn, adapt, and grow in the modern era.
