Session Type: Symposium
In this interactive symposium, scholars, activists, and educators present their work in connection with the Teachers College Institute of Urban and Minority Education’s Cyphers for Justice (CFJ). CFJ supports collaborative research on critical literacies and social action by bringing together participatory youth research and social action projects in schools and communities throughout the city and state. Drawing from various disciplines and methodologies, presenters examine how action research programs develop youth’s critical literacies as well as promote social action and public scholarship within/beyond their communities. Building upon research as/with students, educators, and scholars in various institutions, the discussion will address broad implications for curriculum and pedagogy, teacher education, civic engagement, youth social action, and social justice writ large.
