As an International Admission Counselor with the Middle East as my recruitment region, I am drawn to this part of the world. Learning about the obstacles faced by women to obtain a higher education, helped me understand more benefits in these women studying abroad. Additionally, it made me want to learn more about the challenges they face in studying at a higher education institution as well as how the education they receive is affected by sex segregation and whether they obtain the same quality of education as males or not. ]]> 2019-02-02 21:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dditty91/a8x48i0cgn9b/wish/326992803 Research Approach- Cultural Studies dditty91 https://padlet.com/dditty91/a8x48i0cgn9b/wish/326992815
