Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Foundations of Education.
This research is an attempt to answer two calls: (1) Betty A. Reardon’s (2019a) call to move her work forward, and (2) Tony Jenkins and Betty A. Reardon’s (2007) call for the study of masculinities within a peace education, human rights frame using a feminist scholarship and pedagogical perspective. The amalgamation of the two calls inferred the need to query Reardon’s current and historical publications and her verbal communications for contemporary feminist thought. Inductive Textual Analysis was applied in examining Reardon’s career-long academic work for correlations with four specific theories. It was induced that three of the four theories—human wholeness, democratic equality egalitarianism, and the capabilities approach—were basic to Reardon’s scholarship; however, the fourth theory—intersectionality—was an outlier. It was subsequently deduced that the theory of intersectionality should be added to the pedagogical model in two areas—Masculinities Studies and the action and assessment components of Reardon’s (2010) pedagogy of engagement for social transformation. The projected combination of pedagogical theory and praxis also includes a focus on the current activism in the area of transformative masculinities with the goal of working towards the interdependence that is requisite for gender equality.
