Social Imagining in “Youth Taking Action:” Documenting Immigrating and Settling Through a Hybrid Youth Participatory Action Research Project
Full text linkThis paper is a memoir of our experiences with Youth Taking Action (YTA), a YPAR program that took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. YTA, a collaborative effort organized by a non-profit based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, provided a space for 6 newcomer youths and 4 immigrant adults to engage in active dialogue. Through these conversations, we explored stories of immigration and settlement, identified barriers that limit opportunities for young newcomers and discussed possible actions to address these issues. The youth also learned documentary filmmaking techniques, which helped them collect data and generate more dialogue. This process revealed that linguistic racism and inadequate institutional support are the primary challenges faced by newcomers. As a result, the youth participants speculated on ways to organize and create a collective voice to advocate for future young people arriving in Canada
“I’m From the Federal Government and I’m Here to Help”: An Examination of How Firekeeper’s Daughter Educates about Settler Colonialism
No full textThis essay offers an examination of various ways Angeline Boulley’s best-selling, award-winning Indigenous Young Adult novel, Firekeeper’s Daughter attends to and educates about settler colonialism. At the core of this analysis is the guiding question: In what ways does Firekeeper’s Daughter illuminate the ongoing social structure of settler colonialism within the context of what is currently known as “The United States”? Specifically, this analysis focuses on the topics of Native identity, including colonial mechanism of blood quantum; and the ways institutions such as the FBI operate from values and epistemologies of compartmentalization and deficit notions of Native Peoples. Across this analysis, the overarching goal is to demonstrate how Firekeeper’s Daughter educates about how settler colonialism as structural, contemporary, and ongoing—baked into current social systems
It\u27s Really the Support System that Makes It Expanding Infant-Toddler Child Care Options in New York, Voices from the Field
No full textThis report discusses findings from a small, exploratory study of early childhood educators\u27 experiences working to expand access to high quality child care for infants and toddlers. Because of who participated in the study, it takes a particular focus on the federally-funded Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership program. The study\u27s contribution lies in surfacing fine-grained policy issues that complicate expansion efforts from the perspectives of professionals who live within a fragmented early care and education (ECE) system every day. This non-system (1) makes it difficult to provide continuity of care to children and their families; (2) lacks appropriate space(s) to meet families\u27 child care needs; and (3) complicates relationships between ECE professionals and those trying to support them. However, the depth of policy expertise demonstrated by how the study\u27s participants navigate these issues highlights an important opportunity to infuse systems building efforts with their pooled expertise.https://educate.bankstreet.edu/sc/1017/thumbnail.jp

Speculation is Not Theoretical: The Work of YPAR Moving Forward
Full text linkNothing brought me more joy during my years as the coordinator of the UCLA Council of Youth Research than those moments when, after politely listening to my explanation of some theoretical concept that scholars have painstakingly defined and debated across years in the academy, the students would laugh and respond with some variation of, “Yeah, we get it. We know what they’re saying—they just use fancy language to say it.” Hegemony, social capital— whatever the concept, the youth could always tap into their own identities and experiences to understand that, stripped of all jargon, they already viscerally grasped these realities—the literature just provided some new vocabulary
“I’ll Walk Out if You Walk Out”: A Comic on How Students of Color Utilize Racial Micropolitical Literacy in Their Everyday Lives
Full text linkAdvocating for an expansive view of Youth Participatory Action Research that considers everyday practices in mundane life as essential for building just and thriving futures, the authors co-created a comic to illustrate the inventive ways youth of color co-create educational possibilities for racially just futures in everyday classroom life. Framed through a racial micropolitical literacy framework and based on a real-life narrative, their scholarship in comic form invites youth, practitioners, and scholars to re-frame and re-present learning, teaching, studying, and living educational justice in renewed ways. Specifically, the authors highlight the ingenious practices of youth of color who are already engaging in alternative inquiries and solutions for a racially just and harm-free world, which can expand collective actions and imaginations for social transformation
