Theoretical Ethnographic and Conceptual Background Theoretical Background Feminism Play is a source of significant theoretical insight in anthropology and other disciplines (Huizinga 1970; Turner 1982). Feminist research is explicitly directed towards comprehending evolving social factors affecting women. (Harrison and Fahy 2005:702) and also provides a framework for understanding the contribution of women in sports to development (Birrell 2005:61). The research in this proposal is rooted in this

The impact of social class differences on education choices in higher education The challenges that students from a working class background face in higher education.
