Carroll, Janefer
Abstract:
In July 2012 the Navan Traveller Education Centre closed its doors for the last time. The centre had been providing learning and training opportunities to members of the Traveller community in Meath for over 20 years. This thesis asks the Reseach Question – Why did the Women of Navan Traveller Centre returned to learning following the closure of the Traveller Training Centre in Navan, Co Meath.

The findings support the notion that the Traveller co...
