A Call for Papers: Ethnicity, Race, Gender, Class, and Youth Development
Teachers College Record announces a call for papers
for a special issue on Ethnicity, Race, Gender,
Class, and Youth Development edited by Jean Anyon,
Ratna Ghosh, and Roslyn Arlin Mickelson. This issue
will feature papers reporting on original research
regarding the development of youth, particularly in
urban contexts.
As urban youth develop, they create meaning,
identity, and a sense of themselves in the world by
utilizing a variety of sources, including, perhaps
most centrally, existing social constructions of
ethnicity, race, gender, and social class. By what
methods do youth create these meanings? How do they
attain a sense of the future and its opportunities
or hazards that leads them to appropriate elements
of the environment in ways that are either positive
or self-destructive? How do they define these and
other options? What strategies do they employ to
deal with poverty, racial, gender, or other
discrimination and the disdain of dominant groups
in society? What qualities of their communities and
neighborhoods do they utilize as they grow? How do
they negotiate the often rough terrains of school,
the streets, or incarceration? Finally, how do
urban youth develop a critical account of their
societies, and how do they, or can they, move from
cynicism or alienation to an informed resistance to
oppression?
The editors are interested in all of these and
other questions about the development of urban
youth. Manuscripts that are submitted should engage
these or other important issues. The scholarship
must employ more than one of the following:
original empirical research (qualitative and/or
quantitative), sophisticated theorizing, political
economy, comparative study, or historical analysis.
Manuscripts should be submitted using the TCR
online submission system. Indicate that the paper
is for the special issue on youth development.
Review of manuscripts will begin immediately and
continue until May 1, 2004.
