The researcher sought to make meaning from her personal experience and to understand the impact of the Direct Provision System on her life. The research was undertaken as part of a Master’s Degree in Adult and Community Education at Maynooth University. The researcher reflects on her search for freedom through the power of support and the solidarity of local community, and through the life-changing experience of adult education and learning.  \nKeywords: Asylum Seeker, Letters, Epistolary Autoethnography, Subjectivity, Praxis, Learning, Education, Generative Themes, Conscientization, Disorienting Dilemma  \nSnapshot of the Letter ‘The Women’  \nDear Mamusya!  \nJust left my friend’s house after a lovely chat about us, and kids, and life… and I thought I will tell you a bit about the wonderful women I have met in Ireland, who “brought me up”, supported me and stayed with me in solidarity all those years I had been living in direct provision and beyond…  \nI was really lucky, Mum, to meet the most incredible women in Ireland, whom I can call indeed my tribe. Some of them you have met, some – not. I don’t even know, if I will ever be able to explain how important these women were in the becoming of who I am now… So, meet my tribe, Mamusya.  \nThere are women who I call my “Irish Mummies”. They have taken the role, that would have been fulfilled by you, Mamusya, if I was living back home. Iam very lucky to have them in my life.  \nI have met Bernie when came up to the services she worked in to find out about recognition of my qualifications from back home in my first year indirect provision. We had Irish coffee in pubs and restaurants. Bernie taught me Irish culture. She explained to me the nuances of phrases and proverbs, and I told her similar proverbs in Ukrainian. We had long chats about similarities of Ukrainian and Irish languages – how picturesque and rich both languages are…We talked about our childhood memories–so different yet so similar… I still can talkto her about anything in the world! We dreamt my dreams together… about moving out of direct provision centre… being free… She gave me a straw to hold on to, when I was drowning… She drove me with children to Wicklow to see lambs in Springs. She hugged me with her whole heart… She gave me Hope…(Pshyk, Z. 2019a. Letter 5. The Women, 10 May) .  \nLearning to Read the World  \nTo the oppressed,  \nand to those who suffer with them, and fight at their side  \n(Freire, 1996, p.5) .  \nMy first reading of Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Freire, 1996) happened when I was still living in Direct Provision (DP) . In Freire I found an ally who had amore precise understanding of my day-to-day struggles than anyone ever did. Even though the context in which his philosophy was born was distant from me by more than forty years and thousands of kilometres, it was strikingly applicable to my experience of oppression in the context of the Direct Provision System (DPS). Just like bell hooks (2014, p.46), I felt I ‘deeply identified with the marginalized peasants Freire speaks about’ and just like her I did not have apolitical language to name my world.  \nEven though Freire recognised the subject position of those ‘who suffer the gravest weight of oppressive forces’ (hooks, 2014, p.53), it is important to assert that he failed to address gender-specific oppression. hooks and Mayo criticise Freire for ‘not acknowledging the specific gendered realities of oppression and exploitation’ (hooks, 2014, p.53) and for not ‘addressing gender, race and sexuality’(Mayo, 1999, p.113) . So, when engaging in an exploration of  \noppression, it is important to be aware of how it can be experienced from the female perspective in patriarchal structures and to be aware ","cbCaivEHg5pnu6CC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivEHg5pnu6CC","pdf",140936,23,"English","# Abstract\n# Snapshot of the Letter ‘The Women’\n# Learning to Read the World","[{\"question\":\"What research approach does the paper use to tell the story?\",\"answer\":\"It uses narrative inquiry research through an epistolary autoethnography written from a daughter to her mother.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Direct Provision System shape the researcher’s experience?\",\"answer\":\"The study seeks meaning from personal experience and specifically analyzes how the Direct Provision System affects daily life and the search for liberation.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed central to the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The researcher reads Freire while living in Direct Provision and finds his ideas strikingly applicable to oppression in that context, while also discussing critiques related to gender-specific oppression.\"}]","A Story from the Margin | PDF",1792066088,58]
