Engaging Young People Through the Arts and Visual Practices to Address Sexual Violence
Sat, April 14, 10:35am to 12:05pm, New York Marriott Marquis, Floor: Fifth Floor, BelascoSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Researchers have long identified the significance of studying “the world from the standpoint of children both as knowers and as actors” (Oakley, 1994, p. 25) and of enlisting the insights of those most affected, to inform the research process (Maclure, 1990). This involves making the invisible, visible and making knowledge that is usually silenced public (Lehr and Milton, 2011). In the context of high rates of sexual violence against girls and young women globally, lifting the carpet through arts-based practices can help to realise social change. This symposium aims to provide theoretical and practice-based analysis of how transnational arts-based practices involving girls and young women might influence such change.
