Five Years Later: How the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and the #MeToo Movement Impacted Feminist Social Studies Teachers
Stevens, Kaylene M.; Martell, Christopher C.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v49 n2 p201-226 2021
In a previous study conducted before the emergence of the #MeToo Movement and the results of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, the authors examined feminist teachers and found differences based on their liberal feminist or critical feminist perspectives. In this study, the authors examine the same participants five years later to determine if and how their beliefs, teaching practices, and curricula may have changed. Using a multiple case study design, the authors found that all but one feminist teacher had become more critical in their stance. Five out of six teachers reported feeling a need to respond to the current climate for women and create more opportunities for their students to learn about gender equity. Yet, one of the six teachers, who previously had the strongest critical feminist views, described feeling defeated and frustrated with the outward sexism that has become more prevalent since the 2016 election.
