Working Within the Tensions: Exploring Dilemmas in Participatory and Humanizing Research With Young People
Tue, April 17, 2:15 to 3:45pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Concourse Level, Concourse G RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium is motivated by a shared interest among the panelists in designing and studying learning ecologies that foster youth sociopolitical development and transformative resistance. In doing this work across varied contexts and with varied populations of young people, panelists have encountered tensions between incremental (or insider) approaches and radical (or outsider) approaches to education and social change. These tensions show up in varied epistemological assumptions for research methods and different theoretical perspectives employed for cultivating and studying young people’s sociopolitical development. The authors foreground these dilemmas as productive spaces-- to work within, play with, and critique-- specifically in order to imagine productive strategies for participatory and humanizing research.
