BBC Radio 1's Podcast on Lad Culture in Higher Education:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n601g
Alison Phipps, Director of the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Sussex, explores the rise of 'lad culture' in Higher Education and its relationship to the 'marketisation' of learning. 
In this podcast they mentioned...

  • Banter as a get out of jail free card.
  • Uni lads are individualist but not individual - they have a pack mentality.
  • They are competitive with each other but the group all acts like each other.
  • Their forms of masculinity are strict - bully boys that do not fit this.
  • Now - sexism may be more nasty today - encouraged by social media.
  • Competitive scoring of sex.
  • Women being audited.
  • FB pages like 'rate your shag'
  • Sexual Conquests
  • Consumerist Mentality
  • Neo-Liberalization
  • Marketised University
  • Rankings/gradings/evaluate
  • Individualism- Not a strong sense of comunity- which could protect against it.
  • What are universities teaching students? Civic values should be a part.
  • Sexist bullying - backlash on feminism
  • View that feminism has gone too far.
  • NUS lad culture strategy team
  • Unwanted sexual advances
  • Good Lad workshops in Oxford
  • Intervention Initiative UWE
