DOCTORAL RESEARCH

Beyond Arts & Crafts: Understanding Women's Incarceration through Leisure

My qualitative doctoral research draws on critical approaches and standpoint epistemologies to understand women's incarceration through leisure as practiced in jail.

​

34 incarcerated and recently released women as well as 2 key informants were interviewed. Analysis is underway, using the tools of grounded theory.

​

This research was funded by a Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et culture master's scholarship. It is currently funded by a doctoral Joseph-Armand-Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship.
