This dissertation examines the practice of peer sexual harassment at Weston, an upper-middle class, suburban, public middle school in the midwestern United States. It is a qualitative, interpretive ethnographic case study situated within the broad theoretical framework of practice theory. Data was collected over two years using two ethnographic methods: participant observation and in-depth interviews. Sixty interviews running approximately sixty minutes were conducted with twenty-seven students and twenty-six teachers and administrators. Interviews were audiotaped and fully-transcribed. Observation notes and relevant documents were collected throughout.

520 $a This dissertation examines the practice of peer sexual harassment at Weston, an upper-middle class, suburban, public middle school in the midwestern United States. It is a qualitative, interpretive ethnographic case study situated within the broad theoretical framework of practice theory. Data was collected over two years using two ethnographic methods: participant observation and in-depth interviews. Sixty interviews running approximately sixty minutes were conducted with twenty-seven students and twenty-six teachers and administrators. Interviews were audiotaped and fully-transcribed. Observation notes and relevant documents were collected throughout.
520 $a This study finds peer sexual harassment is a practice broadly at play in the sex/gender regime at Weston. Behaviors ranging from inappropriate sexual comments and gestures to sexual violence and exposure are most actively taken up by groups of popular boys in the company of other boys and serve as a masculinizing practice---a critical way for boys to position themselves as heterosexual males with the female/feminine as the object of their desire.
520 $a The practice is so salient in the lives of middle school students as they go about the gender and sexuality projects of adolescence that both boys and girls take up positions in relation to its offense in order to assume a gender confirmation within the peer group. At Weston, peer sexual harassment is organized and mobilized through gender difference discursive practices grounded in stark binary categories of masculinity and femininity; student commitments to these difference dichotomies facilitate what I understand to be group gender positioning practices at Weston.
520 $a Five discursive categories of difference clustering around understandings of normal sexual behavior, sexual desire, development, relationships, and power are outlined in student narrative accounts. These difference practices map the way for boys and girls along very different developmental paths. Moreover, gender difference discursive practices serve to silence and sequester sexual harassment and reinforce traditional discourses and narratives of male/female difference within the peer group and the institution of the school. The study outlines ways in which gender difference practices are active in the curriculum and adult understandings of adolescent gender and sexuality. Several recommendations for change are outlined.
