Understanding Youth in the Urban Context
Department(s)
Description
In this course, students will delve into original texts to examine critical perspectives on urban youth, youthhood, and constructions of youth identity(ies) both in the U.S. and cross-culturally. It begins with an understanding of young people: how they are seen, where they are seen, when they are seen. The spaces where ‘youth’ and ‘youthhood’ are constructed in relation to culture, social class, ethnicity, language, race, gender, sexual orientation are examined and the implications for policy and practice discussed.
