From Day School to High School: An Exploratory Study on Jewish Adolescent Girls' Identity Development
Weiner, Cheryl
Journal of Jewish Education, v86 n2 p196-229 2020
What does it mean to be a Jewish girl today and how do Jewish adolescent girls navigate their identity? The study that I undertook is exploratory and designed to understand how three girls, who are recent day school graduates, experience the process of identity development as they begin high school. While the sample is small, the study reveals new directions for looking at Jewish girls and questions that need to be asked when researching their lives. It concludes with a few suggestions for thinking about how to conduct future research with Jewish girls.
