1st Annual I-CYS Symposium
At the Intersections of Childhood 2017: Digital, Indigenous, Youth

Image

The Institute for Child & Youth Studies (I-CYS) is hosting its inaugural At the Intersections of Childhood Symposium on the intersections of digital, Indigenous, and youth issues on Saturday, April 1, 2017. This full-day symposium brings together voices from across campus and beyond for a day of discussion regarding the intersection of these three issues.

The event will consist of a keynote lecture by Kirsten Lindquist (U of A, Native Studies), and three panel presentations and discussions by University of Lethbridge scholars and invited guests (Dr. Dawson, U of C, Dr. Chelsey Hauge, Brock University, and Daniela Navia, MA). During the panels, the audience will have the opportunity to respond to the papers and reflect on the intersections of these issues. Moreover, attendees will learn from other scholars, hear from community members, activists and practitioners, and ultimately to transform the way research is conceptualized in these areas.

Following the panel discussions, this symposium will conclude with a student poster session against the backdrop of a collegial wine and cheese gathering. The poster session will take place Saturday, April 1, 2017, from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm in the Markin Hall Atrium.

Call for Poster Presentations - now closed

Deadline: February 18, 2017

Prizes will be awarded at each level of study.
