Emboldened Patriarchy in Higher Education

The authors of this article provide multiple stories of capitalist violence within and outside of higher education as facilitated by patriarchy and evidenced by the recent stories of abuse and power embedded within college football at Pennsylvania State University. Acknowledging that the constructs patriarchy and feminist(s) have been heavily contested, the authors argue for resurrection of examinations of patriarchy, and specifically capitalist patriarchy, in contemporary analyses of power.
