Expanded Course Description
| This course explores adult-centered representations of youth, their problems, and the supposed solutions to these problems. We interrogate how the adult world constructs and acts on youth through the institutions they control, including law, education and criminal justice. Concurrently, we investigate how these institutions are imagined and acted on by youth, differently situated, bringing to intellectual life a rarely considered youth-centered perspective of social life and activism. This course encompasses cases, policy, and regulations as they are lived, shaped and encountered by youth of different backgrounds. We bring forward ideas about identities, trust, agency and space as well as methodological tools that allow us to understand how youth make sense of their lives, assert their views of justice, fairness, and legality, and act on them as agents of change. To accomplish this, we engage in classroom and field-related learning. |
