Engaging Youth in Activism Research and Pedagogical Praxis

<p><em>Engaging Youth in Activism Research and Pedagogical Praxis: Transnational and Intersectional Perspectives on Gender Sex and Race</em> offers critical perspectives on contemporary research and practice directed at young people across the global north and south. Drawing upon pedagogical programmatic and activist work with respect to challenging inequalities and injustices for young people the authors interrogate the dominant discourses of sexuality gender race class age and other social categories. Emerging out of a Finnish-South African collaboration this volume does not take a comparative approach but rather a transnational one by embracing the intersections of local and global knowledges. We draw on this transnational and transdisciplinary framework and these various contexts to generate a critique of mainstream theory and pedagogical practice as well as to subvert and disrupt such research and practice so as to speak more directly to young people's agentic and activist engagements in social justice specifically inequalities of class race gender age sexuality ability and health.</p>
