Qualitative Analyses

The purpose of this study was to explore and to understand the daily life experiences of 8 women doctoral students who were in pursuit of their doctorates. A partially mixed concurrent dominant status design was utilized in this study embedded within a mixed methods phenomenological research lens and driven by a critical dialectical pluralistic philosophical stance. Specifically, these 8 students were interviewed individually to examine their lived experiences as doctoral students. The interview responses then were subjected to a sequential mixed analysis that was characterized by 2 qualitative analyses (i.e., constant comparison analysis, classical content analysis) and 1 quantitative analysis (i.e., correspondence analysis). The 2 qualitative analyses revealed the following 3 metathemes: adjustment (how these doctoral students made necessary accommodations with regard to all aspects of their lives), which comprised the themes of time management, interaction, belief, and lifestyle; encouragement (circumstances that motivated them to pursue their doctoral degrees), which comprised the themes of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation; and discouragement (circumstances that demotivated them from pursuing their doctoral degrees), which comprised the themes of internal discouragement and external discouragement. The correspondence analysis revealed a fourth metatheme, namely, marital status (separating the single students from the married/divorced students), which comprised the themes of locus of motivation and locus of discouragement. Seven of these women doctoral students struggled to balance either dual roles (i.e., as doctoral students and wives/mothers, or as doctoral students and professionals) or triple roles (i.e., as doctoral students, wives/mothers, and professionals). Implications of the findings are discussed.

Women Doctoral Students

Engaging in business life actively with industrialization, modernism movements and making a significant improvement in getting higher education degrees, the women’s getting postgraduate degrees –especially seen as a very challenging and demanding pathway by many people- has various effects on their social lives. The aim of this study was to analyze the interaction between doctoral process and women’s gender roles in daily life. The design of the study was qualitative interview-based and to collect the data semi-structured interviews were conducted. Participants were chosen among the volunteer women doctoral students in Cukurova University. The data collected was analyzed with content analysis. The findings revealed there are many advantages and disadvantages reflected on the women doctoral students’ lives through their doctorate regarding gender roles and they had a lot of difficulties through this process. They put forward recommendations related to various points such as providing equality of women and men and having support mechanisms in order to overcome these inequality related problems. Although they got both support and criticism regarding doing doctorate, women doctoral students have many reasons for doing doctorate which engage them into a devoted endeavor in a sense to get higher education and join more actively in business life.

Ways Of Being

This paper centers the experiences and understandings of women doctoral students during two separate focus groups and collaborative collages. (Re)theorizing “monsters” as “intra- sectional” through Karen Barad’s and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s scholarship, we (re)position the “monstrous” as agentive and self-creative concepts. We explore the concept of (wo)monsters and the (wo)monstrous: empowered women participants who, through their verbal and artistic participations, cut themselves, others, and the group together/apart. In making these cuttings, they worked to (re)suture themselves and their group(s) back together in (re)generative, (wo)monstrous ways. The women’s participations emphasized their (wo)monstrosities as affirmingly fantastical, imagining new ways of being and wreaking havoc on hegemony and hierarchy.

Women Doctoral Students

<p>There is scant research on the topic of challenges and coping mechanisms necessary to the<br />success of women doctoral students. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess<br />qualitatively the experiences of 3 women doctoral students enrolled at a 4-year university in<br />southeast Texas in an attempt to explore the challenges that evolve while they are enrolled in<br />a doctoral program. Specifically, we examined the lives of these women doctoral students<br />outside of the program and their progression to the completion of their degrees. We attempted<br />to provide insight surrounding the doctoral process, attrition, and completion. A collective<br />case study research design was utilized in this study that was driven by a critical dialectical<br />pluralistic philosophical stance (Onwuegbuzie &amp; Frels, 2013). Specifically, these 3 students<br />were interviewed individually to examine their lived experiences as doctoral students. The<br />verbal interview responses then were subjected to an ethnographic analysis (i.e., domain<br />analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis; Spradley, 1979), whereas their<br />nonverbal responses were subjected to a classical content analysis. The ethnographic analysis<br />of the verbal data revealed the following 2 themes: program perceptions and role inequity.<br />The classical content analysis of the nonverbal data revealed 2 major categories that<br />represented both explicit and inferred forms of communication: types of challenges and<br />survival strategies. Implications of the findings are discussed.</p>
