Eco-Cultural Frames: Examining Challenges of Race, Ethnicity, and Class for Youth Learning, Development, and Resilience

Mon, April 7, 8:15 to 9:45am, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 119A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

These four symposium papers offer different lenses through which policy, practice and research can take into account ecological and cultural issues that are central to human learning and development. In addition, they offer innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to examining complex learning within and across settings in ways that take culture and identity as central. The papers also demonstrate interdisciplinary methods from epidemiology; mixed methods approaches to studying interplays among individuals and their contexts and to studying interplays among identity, perceptions, and learning; and critical multi-site ethnography for examining institutional, political, and social contradictions that youth, especially from non-dominant communities, must wrestle with as part of their life course development within and across settings.
