Challenging Adultism: Centering Youth as Educational Decision Makers
Bertrand, Melanie; Brooks, Maneka Deanna; Domínguez, Ashley D.
Urban Education, v58 n10 p2570-2597 2023
Research indicates that youth, especially those facing injustice, such as youth of Color in urban settings, are essential participants in educational decision-making. However, due to adultism and intersecting forms of oppression, their inclusion is not the norm. Grounded in the concept of adultism and the tradition of storytelling, we address the following question: How can educational researchers and practitioners challenge the adultism that constrains youth's participation in school- and district-level educational decision-making? We share stories about our experiences in urban schools, considering adultism at the interactional, institutional, and curricular levels. Our implications center on using critical reflexivity to challenge adultism.
