| Research Abstract |
In this study, I explored women's learning in higher education both empirically and theoretically. I conducted interviews with doctoral students, post-doc students, and researchers in the United States and Japan. I also engaged in theoretical research to understand the women's interpretations of their learning.
I found that both the social institutions in which the women were located and the availability or unavailability of concepts able to frame the interpretation of their experiences combined to shape the ways in which they expressed their experiences, as well as the meaning that they gave to their Ph.D.
This research concluded that higher education institutions offered an institutional space to women who felt a degree of estrangement from society, and that their learning in those institutions provided them with tools to develop their own sense of identity. Higher education learning, indeed, can be regarded as a tool that enables women to express their own agency.
