Youth Participation and Community Change
Empowered youth CAN and DO make a difference!Young people become empowered by their participation in the institutions and decisions that affect their liveswhich in turn can lead to real positive change in the community.Youth Participation and Community Change presents leading authorities providing the latest research and effective approaches on how young people can be drawn to participate in organizations and communities.The diverse perspectives discuss youth participation in today’s society, the models and methods of its practice, the roles of youth and adults, and the future of youth participation and community in a diverse democracy.Approaches include those which promote participatory community-based research and evaluation, and involve youth groups in poor and racially segregated areas. The mainstream view of much of today’s youth is that of being victims of society rather than a being a possible positive influence on society as a whole.Youth Participation and Community Change seeks to shift the viewpoint from youth as being problems to empowering them to enact positive social change.The book explores community agency efforts to involve young people, and the process by which youth civic engagement promotes empowerment.Social work and public health approaches are examined, with cogent discussions on conceptual and theoretical issues.Empirically based case studies illustrate best practices and interdisciplinary work that draws upon psychology, sociology, social work, public health, education, and related academic disciplines and professional fields.

Youth, School, and Community : Participatory Institutional Ethnographies
This book examines how young people’s experiences of inclusion and exclusion are shaped by extended social relations, coordinating thought and conduct across time and space.Working with young people and using a range of participatory institutional ethnographic strategies, Naomi Nichols investigates the social and institutional relations which differentially punctuate the lives of youth.While the research begins with what young people know and have experienced, this starting place anchors a deeper investigation of the public sector institutions and institutional processes that remain implicated in social-historical-economic processes of global capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism. Youth, School, and Community connects the dots between, on the one hand, the abstract objectified accounts produced by institutions and enabling institutional action and accounting practices, and, on the other hand, the actual material conditions of young people’s lives and development, which these accounts obscure.The focus on specific policies and procedures that produce young people’s experiences of racialized inclusion/exclusion and safety/risk make this book particularly useful to academics, professionals, and activists who want to ensure that young people experience equitable access to public sector resources and not disproportionate exposure to public sector punishments and punitive interventions.

Producing Queer Youth : The Paradox of Digital Media Empowerment
Producing Queer Youth challenges popular ideas about online media culture as a platform for empowerment, cultural transformation, and social progress.Based on over three years of participant action research with queer teen media-makers and textual analysis of hundreds of youth-produced videos and popular media campaigns, the book unsettles assumptions that having a "voice" and gaining visibility and recognition necessarily equate to securing rights and resources.Instead, Berliner offers a nuanced picture of openings that emerge for youth media producers as they negotiate the structures of funding and publicity and manage their identities with digital self-representations.Examining youth media practices within broader communication history and critical media pedagogy, she forwards an approach to media production that re-centers the process of making as the site of potential learning and social connection.Ultimately, she reframes digital media participation as a struggle for—rather than, in itself, evidence of—power.
