Race and Place: Youth Political and Racial Identity in Context

Sun, April 19, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Over the past decade, scholarly accounts of youth racial and political development point to young people contentiously grappling with the most pressing issues of the day in ways that betray long-held, prescriptive, often-linear models of identity development. Despite growth in these areas, we still know very little about the ways in which immediate and specific local histories in and of place, might contribute to youths’ political socialization and racial identity development. Consistent with the 2020 AERA annual meeting call for reclamation of the “historic possibilities of connectivity,” this session will more deeply explore how constraints and opportunities for racial identity development and political socialization are revealed or foreclosed in particular places and within their histories.
