Nothing About Us Without Us: Attending to Youth Desires for Their Educational Futures

Thu, April 9, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Petree Hall C

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This presidential session centers the voices, experiences, and desires of young people, the group that will be most impacted by the decisions that we make about our collective social futures. This year’s conference theme invites us to engage with the histories and movements that have brought us to this sociopolitical moment and articulate our freedom dreams for future generations--such futuring requires the meaningful participation of youth.

The format of the session, a brief opening panel followed by facilitated conversations at roundtables, is designed to bring together youth researchers, as experts of their educational experiences, with adult researchers who have dedicated their careers to developing theoretical, methodological, and practical tools to support intergenerational and interdisciplinary public scholarship.
