Publication of Special Issue of LEARNing Landscapes 鈥淭owards new futures of youth development: Critical and sustainable approaches to youth wellbeing in complex times鈥�
The twenty-eighth issue of LEARNing Landscapes, an online, peer-reviewed, open access journal edited by DISE's Lynn Butler-Kisber 补苍诲听Bronwen Low, and ECP's Jessica Ruglis, 鈥淭owards new futures of youth development: Critical and sustainable approaches to youth wellbeing in complex times鈥�, highlights the evolving landscape of educational and developmental research and practice, where traditional models are challenged, and new frameworks鈥攔ooted in decolonial, feminist, and queer theories鈥攁re proposed to support holistic youth development.
Papers in this special issue engage what thinking about youth wellbeing means as critical, embodied praxis and pedagogies for work with young people during times characterized by precarity, structural violence, and crisis, as well as mobilisation and resistance. Multimedia contributions include conceptual pieces, arts-based research, and empirical studies, as well as dialogues between researchers, community youth workers, and youth themselves in excerpts from the photo-voice exhibit, "Que du Love".
Authors include DISE faculty Emmanuel Tabi and Jayne Malenfant, Jessica Ruglis in dialogue with Karl-St-Victor (executive director of Chalet Kent youth centre), DISE doctoral candidate Cory Legassic, and DISE doctoral student Melissa Ledo in dialogue with Cree singer-songwriter Siibii Petawabano.
