Abstract Details

2011, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services: Educational Studies.
This dissertation is an arts-based study that investigates the resilience, resistance, and images of relationships in the lives of three disadvantaged adolescent girls. The main theoretical interest in this study is the intersection of feminist thought and creative ways of knowing. Central to feminist scholarship is the focus on relationships in the development of women and girls. This dissertation examines the role autonomy plays in the development of resilience. A selection of poetry and paintings created by the researcher and three participants illustrate subjective knowledge as a legitimate source for understanding such phenomena.
