| Descripción: | This research investigated the significance of post-secondary education for rural Newfoundland women studying liberal arts. Data collection for this research involved comprehensive, in-depth semi-structured biographical interviews with rural women studying liberal arts disciplines at Memorial University of Newfoundland during the 2006-2007 academic year. The data analyses draw on theories of experiential and embodied knowledge, social constructionist theories of gender and place, and research on women, rurality, and post-secondary education. The findings indicate that rural women studying arts disciplines engage with post-secondary education in a variety of ways that are contingent upon gender and place. The term ‘engagement’ is used here in order to connote the idea that women’s decisions are embodied – women are involved materially in the decision-making process and meaning can be made from these experiences. |
