[3]

Location

Marginalized Youth and Contemporary Educational Contexts is part of a series of events focusing on collaborative community research as a systemic approach to changing front-line practice hosted by the Community Health Systems Resource Group (CHSRG) at The Hospital for Sick Children. This will be an interactive and dialogue-based public symposium.   The three main key note discussions will include experts in marginalized youth culture, education as it relates to the lives of young people, and researchers/practitioners who work with and for young people in narrative and art-informed ways. 

Symposium goals:·         What are the main dilemmas facing marginalized youth and schools?

·         What do we know about young people in their emerging global contexts and how have we come to know it? (our theories, disciplines, evidence and methods)

·         What do we know about youth in contemporary education and how have we come to know what we know about (our theories, disciplines, evidence and methods)

·         Where do the intersections of youth culture and education occur?

·         What is still to be known? How shall we come to know it?

·         How has story telling and narrative allowed deeper understanding of these issues?
