InsideHigherEd quotes Tucker Center’s LaVoi on Harvard sexism scandal

Nicole M. LaVoi, Tucker Center Associate Director, 2013 imageAn InsideHigherEd.com online magazine article, “Supposed to Be Our Brothers,”has quoted Nicole M. LaVoi, Ph.D., faculty in the School of Kinesiology and co-director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport, on the recent Harvard sexism scandal wherein men’s teams where shown to have years of sexist traditions toward their female athlete counterparts. LaVoi comments that while on the surface teams say they treat each other “like family,” this is not true administratively or—now so clearly—when female athletes are ritually objectified by their male teammates.
