Negotiating Conflict and Belonging: Ethnographic Perspectives on Citizenship Education From the United States and Europe

Mon, April 16, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Third Level, West Room 302

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel takes up the question of youth citizenship education in conflict and post-conflict contexts. Defining citizenship education as efforts to help young people to become active participants in the social, civic, cultural and political spheres of their societies, the panel draws on research across diverse contexts to raise several key, interrelated questions: What does it mean to create critical citizenship projects in the presence, and in the aftermath of cultural or political conflict? What role do discourses of cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism, tolerance, and national unity play in these efforts? How do young people understand their roles as political, social and cultural actors within these contexts of conflict?
