Abstract

Jane Addams, in both her thought and activism during the Progressive era, was focused on human problems at both local and global levels and asked of each level what a democratic attitude of radical social justice could bring to felt indeterminacies. She employed a philosophical method associated with American pragmatism, made her own as a relational and feminist approach—inseparable from her lived experience as a woman and advocate of social reform domestically and internationally. The historical context of the Progressive era and Addams’s experience of it, her part in the American Settlement movement and her leadership of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom are discussed to illuminate her human-centered, democratic social approach to international relations. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
