Toward Transformative Intergenerational Collaboration: Identities, Literacies, and Contexts for Participatory Research With Youth

Thu, April 11, 12:40 to 2:10pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 111B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Recognizing participatory action research with youth (YPAR) as a unique form of knowledge production that problematizes orthodox research practices and asserts anti-hegemonic knowledges in education, particularly in light of current threats to justice and equity for many marginalized communities, this session explores perspectives, epistemological frameworks, and structures that support intergenerational collaboration with youth. This symposium will 1) present the interdisciplinary conceptual framework that informs a participatory research collaborative between two universities and a youth-engaged research program, 2) offer an interactive experience to highlight the dialogical intergenerational engagement that inspires this research, and 3) provide an opportunity for discussion about the perspectives, contexts, challenges and aspirations of collaborative intergenerational endeavors and their implications for future research, policy, and practice.
