Panopticonics: The Control and Surveillance of Black Female Athletes in a Collegiate Athletic Program.
Foster, Kevin Michael
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v34 n3 p300-23 Sep 2003
Analyzes black female student athletes' participation in an elite collegiate athletic program by showing how the program maximizes black females' athletic and academic potential through surveillance, control, and discipline. The program instills in black female athletes a model of womanhood whereby they come to expect and achieve academic and athletic success, but does so at the expense of their autonomy and freedom from surveillance. Discusses panopticonics as educational technology. (SM)
