Reexamining Urban Violence and Trauma: Ecological, Empathetic, and Pedagogical Responses

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel turns to research in urban ecology and the health sciences—spanning the fields of public health, epidemiology, social work, and psychology—to inform a new paradigm for thinking about pedagogy, complex traumas, and urban education. This robust framework will provide a richer basis for understanding previously underexplored questions about how research and pedagogy can not only be critical and community responsive but how it might also help better account for the additional developmental demands youth in urban settings must negotiate. This panel seeks to advance an interdisciplinary lens that will serve as the analytical lens for which we understand the context of urban communities and the necessary teaching needed to more effectively serve the needs of urban youth.
