| Description | Young activist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez has written that "the youth
of the world are continuing to rise to power and shape our
culture." In this course, we will examine texts written by youth,
and youth action and activism primarily in the contemporary US,
as forms of enacting such power and shaping. We will use methods
from critical youth studies and literary studies to take
seriously young people's social-political and cultural
engagements. In focusing on young people writing and taking
action for racial, environmental, and climate justice, we will
consider youth-produced texts and action/activism as well as
conditions that make possible youth-and-adult collaborations Keywords:youth, activism, children, childhood studies, environmental studies |
