63.063 - Critical Examination of Emerging Tensions in Youth Participatory Action Research and Building Liberatory Praxes
Mon, April 8, 10:25 to 11:55am, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 200 Level, Room 201ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium will critically examine emerging contradictions that show up when conducting Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) within institutions and social contexts that reproduce various forms of oppression. Using frameworks drawing from critical theories of race and whiteness as well as critical and transnational feminism, the symposium also offers examples of how you people and from marginalized backgrounds negotiate these tensions in ways that disrupt such oppressions. Calling into question how power dynamics operate within YPAR in diverse contexts, with particular attention to race and gender, the panelists consider the possibilities for liberatory praxes as well as the limiting constraints. The session will also draw on audience knowledge in a participatory format.
