We've been talking a lot about issues of representation and how adults represent youth. This week, I want you to take look at some of the spaces where teens represent themselves. Of course, adult have something to say about this as well... What are the issues that arise in our culture when youth have a genuine, authentic 'room of their own'? How are teens using that space? What concerns do adults have about that space? Take a look at these articles I found and blog about them for this week. Be mindful of the issues we have been talking about: dominant discourses of youth, resistance, race, class, gender... Have fun with it!
