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.
