This paper examines how racialized perceptions of masculinity are formed in the context of the study habits of schoolboys in Australian all-male private high schools. Australia’s elite private schools have a unique racial makeup. Due to the country being a popular immigration destination for middle and upper-class Asian migrants, there often exists a significant plurality of Asian students alongside the White student majority. In a boys-only context, this unique demographic makeup leads to racialized perceptions of acceptable masculine behavior, which then affect the studying habits of White and Asian schoolboys. Existing literature has explored the implications of racial divisions within school environments, but few have conducted intersectional analyses of how gendered framing becomes simultaneously racialized in single-gender environments, particularly in a dichotomous White-Asian context. Drawing on 15 interviews with students who were recently enrolled at one prestigious private boys’ school in Melbourne, this paper seeks to provide much-needed expansion on the socialization of boys within boys’ private school settings and how these spaces formulate racialized versions of traditional gender ideology. In doing so, it aims to shed light on how adolescent Asian masculinities are shaped in the West by challenging popular ideas of model minority subject formation.
