Rhoda Reddock's publications include seven books (two award-winning), three monographs, four special journal issues and over 50 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. Her awards include the UWI Vice Chancellor’s Award for All-Round Excellence in Teaching and Administration, Research and Public Service in 2001, the Seventh CARICOM Triennial Award for Women in 2002 and the US Department of State International Woman of Courage Award 2008.

Professor Reddock’s research has been interdisciplinary and reflects her commitment to multi-disciplinary collaboration with colleagues. A concern with social justice has been a core theme in her work. Her first, academic publication, “Prison Education in Jamaica”, published in 1976, was the result of a year-long, undergraduate, research exercise in two Jamaican prisons. Her focus then shifted to work, labour and women’s social and political history, as reflected in her master’s and doctoral research. Since then, her research output has revolved around the themes of gender, ethnicity and nationalism, masculinities, sexualities, women and social movements, and environmental studies.
