Imagined and Realized Places: Spatializing Youth Political and Racial Identity Development

Mon, April 12, 2:50 to 4:20pm EDT (2:50 to 4:20pm EDT), Division G, Division G - Section 1 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Over the past decade, scholarly accounts of youth racial and political development point to young people contentiously grappling with the most pressing issues of the day. Despite growth in youth development research, we still know very little about the ways immediate and specific local histories in and of place, might contribute to youths’ political socialization and racial identity development. Consistent with the 2021 AERA call for evidence based political actions and Division G’s focus on the intersectionalities of education, space, and time our session explores youth voice in its particular space and time. This session will more deeply explore how constraints and opportunities for racial identity development and political socialization are revealed in particular places, spaces, and within their histories.
