In the context of economic recession, the breadwinner role for these men was exchanged with one of at-home father. Men’s daily care of children included language and literacy development, a role traditionally construed asfeminine. Reflections on the feminist, adult education methodological approach used to discuss men’s role in family literacy suggest that photovoice contributed to the disruption of patriarchal norms. It supported men to talk fluently and empathetically to one another about masculinity, care and fatherhood thereby freeing them to engage in counter hegemonic narratives of masculinity.  \nKeywords: Adult Education, Masculinities, Photovoice, Family literacy, Care  \nSnapshot of photovoice workshop  \nSix men, sitting in a circle around a central table, myself amongst them. We all are dressed in similar clothing, jeans, sweatshirts or tracksuits. Tea and sandwiches are on a side table. Camera bags and cameras are on tables around  \nthe room. A projector and screen is to the side of the circle. Some of the men are sitting back in their chairs, balancing on two legs, chatting to one another. Others are leaning forward, focused on the screen where one man’s photograph of three children has just been projected. The colour photograph shows children sitting with their heads close together. A boy is in the centre flanked by his two sisters. They are seated at a kitchen table, which is strewn with colouring pencils, sheets of drawing paper and a pile of newspapers. In the research session the father of the children presents their image to the rest of the group. The discussion begins. The first question is posed: Why did you take that photo?  \nSource: Research fieldnotes  \nIntroduction  \nThis paper draws on an empirical study into the relationship between ideals of hegemonic masculinities and fathers’ involvement in family literacy learning care work. Whilst the wider study is in the context of family literacy, this paper focuses on the adult education methodology employed to engage educationally disadvantaged men in the research. Situated within a Freirian pedagogical approach and feminist critical adult education context, relationships, individual and collective dialogue, critical reflection and praxis were all central to the research process (Connolly, 2008; Freire, 1972). Photovoice, a methodology conducive to supporting vulnerable men to speak fluently about their lives (Oliffe & Bottorff, 2007; Slutskaya et al., 2012) was a core methodological strategy in this enquiry. Critical reflections on the use of photovoice, are discussed below.  \nThe global economic crisis has resulted in some disruption and restructuring of patriarchal, socially constructed, gendered parenting roles and such changes bring both challenges and opportunities. In Ireland, as the recession deepened, high levels of unemployment spread across the male-dominated construction industry (Barry & Conroy, 2012). The one-time breadwinner now finds himself in the unfamiliar role of fulltime family carer whilst his partner, often in poorly paid and part-time employment, provides financially for the family. These athome fathers are the focus of the study reflected upon below.  \nThe State of the World’s Fathers Report (Levtov et al., 2015) found that whilst men may want to be more involved in the lives of their children, the demands of a neo-liberal marketplace and inflexible workplaces preclude many from involved fathering. This institutionalised view of men as carefree actors consequently leaves women doing most of the caregiving. Women now make up 40 percent of the global workforce yet they also continue to do ten times more caregiving and domestic work than men (Ibid.).
