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.
