Request for Help

Currently I am undertaking an MSc at The Centre forHuman Ecology (Edinburgh) researching: "Women, Boarding School, Identity and Relationship to the Land". I am very interested to talk with women who have come from a land-based background (such as farming) and who then went to boarding school in Britain and have later returned to the land / rural setting.
I am approaching this research by way of sharing stories - that includes sharing my own story, as a woman who came from a land owning family in New Zealand (farming) and went to an urban boarding school for four years in my teens.  My particular interest is in how one's sense of identity shifts over time, and how the boarding school experience in particular, influences one's sense of identity / or relationship with the land.
If you are interested in talking with me about your own experience or if you know of someone who you could refer me to, please get in touch with me by 07 SEPT 2005.  Thank you.

My contact details are:  0131 667 2801 or

In appreciation,
