Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This interactive symposium asks: What can researchers learn about remedy and repair from the innovative, diverse and sustainable youth organizing efforts that exist in California? Scholarship documents California’s large and lasting youth organizing field (Pintado et. al., 2003; Valladares et. al., 2020). In this session, scholars from four institutions will give spark talks on their research on California youth organizing and then engage in conversations with the AERA community to advance this work. Topics addressed include healing from and combating white supremacy; combining insider and outsider relationships to remedy injustice; understanding the long-term community effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; new practices of emotional possibility and reimagining social change.
