      ab: This article explores the rise of private, postsecondary technical schools (ISTs) in the rapidly expanding Amazonian city of Tarapoto, Peru, and particularly their appeal for young women. In Peru, the rise of the for-profit technical school comes at a historical conjuncture with the decline of a violent social conflict, followed by neoliberal reforms that have dramatically cut funding for public universities-and particularly programs in the humanities and social sciences. However, the dramatic overrepresentation of young women enrolled in Tarapoto's private ISTs-many of whom are the first in their families to attend postsecondary, or even secondary school-raises important questions about the sorts of hopes, potentials, and experiences that supplement the technical curriculum in the IST classroom.
