Discipline Power: A Cathedral of Research on the Academic Sexual Harassment in Chinese College - Volume 8 Number 11 (Nov. 2018) - IJSSH

Abstract—This research discusses the reasons of academic sexual harassment in Chinese college. The focus of this research is on college students as victims of academic sexual harassment. Several hypotheses were made based on the theory of discipline power and micro-power by Michel Foucault. The result indicates that discipline power has an effect on the college students in the family, society and college. What is more, micro-power functions as a network of relations from top to bottom, but also to a certain extent from bottom to top and laterally, and affects those college students. These powers penetrate into college students, making them easier to accept as standard principle in daily life, then leading students to receive academic sexual harassment unconsciously.
