Abstract:

By using ethnography approach, this is a pilot study to understand: (1) to learn about the limitations that women have to negotiate in order to get in doctoral education in the United States, (2) to understand if they keep getting pressures from the conflict between marriage and career, focusing on the gender roles that particularly originate from the students’ family/kinship. It explains how doctoral female students, through overcoming the barriers to doctoral education, have to continuously negotiate their career plan and gender roles with their family.
