Bringing Everyday Life to Policy Analysis: The Case of White Rural Women Negotiating College and Welfare.

Naples, Nancy A.

Journal of Poverty: Innovations on Social, Political & Economic Inequalities, v2 n1 p23-53 1998

Explores contradictions between "workfare" and higher education that constrain the academic success of poor rural Iowa women: loss of welfare-related college support if temporarily denied AFDC, lack of child care funding, and constraints on transfer from a two-year to a four-year college. Recommends utilizing an "everyday world" perspective in policy formation. Contains 61 references. (SAS)
