Youth studies and youth epistemologies in English teaching and teacher education (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The authors in the articles across this ebook, Youth Studies and Youth Epistemologies in English Teaching and Teacher Education, thus ask questions of what may it mean to intentionally reflect on and (re)conceptualize teaching, teacher education, and research approaches and the school subject English as purposefully learning with the vibrant and already-present literacies of youth "e;on a day like this."e; Specifically, the authors in this issue extend the accounts of youth engagement and activism we recalled at the outset of this editorial to reveal how youth epistemologies build with and upon multiple and fluid language and literacy practices that youth name as urgent and important-beyond decontextualized, print-centric, monolingual, canon-based artifacts of literacy in school. At its core, a youth epistemology questions and critiques power dynamics, particularly in relation to notions of adulthood as normative, and conversely, youth as non-normative, and the adultism and adult-centrism that permeates most social structures, particularly schools. Moreover, a youth epistemology engages the interplay of youth's already present knowledge and varied identities, to assert youth as critical participants and inquirers in their schools and communities. In these ways, this ebook is a call for increased attention to inequitable power dynamics and their effects related to youth; and authors in this issue thus urgently consider the interplay of youth epistemologies and intersectional lenses.
