ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Marymount University
In this study, I explore the impact of misandry and racism on the career experiences of Black male K12 educators in a doctor of education (EDD) program. Misandry is a concept that is defined as dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men i.e. the male sex. (Nathanson, 2006). This concept is a direct parallel to misogyny. While misogyny is more of a well-known and understood concept, misandry may not seem as understood. The concept of misandry manifests itself into the intricate conceptualization of dislike, contempt for and ingrained prejudice against men. As a result of the prevailing mindset of some, Black men and boys are scrutinized in ways other races of men and boys are not. Black men face stiffer penalties for the same or similar crimes as White men. Black men are subject to extreme difficulties based on predisposed prejudices in both jurisprudence and economical concepts. Additionally, Black male K-12 educators are touted as disciplinarians more than for their sound instructional practices. For this study, I intended to answer questions surrounding Black male K-12 educators in an EDD program perceptions of leadership opportunities, professional development, respect, and job satisfaction within their K-12 career settings. The participants' professional experiences in education of Black male K-12 educators in the EDD program is also relevant. I chose Black male K-12 educators in an EDD program because these are educators who want to improve their career experiences and their depth in examining and changing education policy. I also believed that Black male K-12 educators in an EDD program provide invaluable insight via their experiences and practical knowledge. I believed the interviews would also explain complex insights they've encountered in their careers. I chose to gain an EDD to become both a better practitioner of education and a better leader. I also desired to understand theories and methods to improve my own educational acumen. In order to decipher the data I collected, my research design consisted of a case study approach. I used an expert panel reviewed a 20-question questionnaire to gain insight into the career experiences of Black male K-12 educators in an EDD program. The methodology used for this research was a case study. In order to research and explore misandry and racism as it relates to Black male K-12 educators, I used both a 20-item questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire consisted of Likert scaled questions, short answer and ranking questions. The semi-structured interviews consisted of five sections. Each section provided data collection. The overarching theme of the data collection for the interviews was concept mapping. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
