On the Ethics of Getting the Word Out: Rural Girls Reflect on Ownership in Participatory Visual Research in Rural South Africa
Despite the growing body of literature dedicated to ethical and methodological issues related to youth engagement and youth participation in arts-based research, the ethics of ownership in relation to the production and sharing of visual artefacts remains an understudied area. This work is particularly critical in the context of war-affected youth, and youth addressing issues of gender-based violence in their lives. Drawing on the voices and pers…
Youth reflections on ethics in research and practice: A case study of youth born of genocidal rape in Rwanda
Despite the significant amount of literature dedicated to ethical and methodological issues related to youth engagement and youth participation in research, few studies have examined how young people themselves view and give meaning to their own participation in research projects that employ creative practices that affect them. This article explores the perspectives of youth with regard to their participation in a research project. Drawing upon t…
Storyscapes of place: First Nation youths’ photographic depictions of home
Cultural continuity and a sense of belonging are of central importance to the health and wellness of Indigenous youth. Identity development for these young people requires navigation through a plethora of multi-mediated and global influences including the structures and ideologies of colonization that devalue and minimize Indigenous ways of knowing and living. Consequently, it is valuable to explore how youth are making their way through this myr…
Leisure, cultural continuity, and life promotion
Colonization has left in its wake alarming suicide rates for Indigenous youth. The suicide rate of Indigenous youth in Canada is five to six times higher than their non-Indigenous counterparts. This article presents the findings of a research project that explored and promoted wellness and life promotion with Indigenous youth living on a reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada. Data collection occurred through an arts-based workshop, where youth collecti…
Living the experience of learning: Embodied reflexivity as pedagogical process
As theatre practitioners we are always doing, acting, speaking and moving. Our world is one of lived experience, where we physically embody moments of knowledge creation and transformation. Through these interactions and transactions of learning, we reflect and ‘reflex’ our understanding of experiences. But how might we develop an approach to pedagogy that recognizes the primacy of relationships, enabling a sharing of an embodied and reflexive ap…
Weechi metuwe mitotan: Playing games of presence with Indigenous youth in Saskatchewan, Canada
This article explores the role of play and how the integration of play in the arts contributes to supporting holistic well-being in Indigenous youth. We specifically focus on ‘Games of Presence’ (Gee, personal communication, August 25, 2015) which are theatre games often categorized as warm-ups, energizers and exercises in applied theatre programmes. We draw on interviews with youth participants in our workshops and adult facilitators who have to…
Generating and sustaining positive spaces: Reflections on an Indigenous youth urban arts program
Life in the city for any youth can be challenging without a proper support network. For Indigenous youth in particular, the unique burden of intergenerational trauma due to the residual effects of colonialism (e.g. residential schools and historical outlawing of traditional practices) can contribute to both unhealthy behaviors and a continuation of “culturally unsafe” spaces. As a response to these challenges, this article examines the positive e…
Like Braiding Sweetgrass: Nurturing Relationships and Alliances in Indigenous Community-based Research
The shifting environment of Indigenous community-based research demands reflexivity because the negotiation and maintenance of relationships are central (Findlay, Ray, & Basualdo, 2014). This paper expands on the importance of social relationships in the Nehinuw (Cree) worldview by reflecting on an ongoing research partnership among a team of Indigenous and Settler researchers from three universities and one Indigenous community agency. The Nehin…
Kiskenimisowin (self-knowledge): Co-researching Wellbeing With Canadian First Nations Youth Through Participatory Visual Methods
Indigenous youth represent one of the most marginalized demographics in Canada. As such they must contend with many barriers to wellness that stem from oppression, including historical and ongoing colonization and racism. Developing effective health programming requires innovation and flexibility, especially important when programs take place in diverse Indigenous communities where local needs and cultural practices vary. This article reports the…
Research as intervention? Exploring the health and well-being of children and youth facing global adversity through participatory visual methods
Global health research typically relies on the translation of knowledge (from health professionals to the community) and the dissemination of knowledge (from research results to the wider public). However, Greenhalgh and Wieringa [2011. Is it time to drop the 'knowledge translation' metaphor? A critical literature review. Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 104(12), 501-509. doi: 10.1258/jrsm.2011.110285 ] suggest 'that while "translation" …
Sharing The Talking Stones: Theatre of the Oppressed Workshops as Collaborative Arts-based Health Research with Indigenous Youth
Embodying Decolonization: Methodologies and Indigenization
This article explores the role of the body in decolonizing and Indigenous methodologies through the experiences and perspectives of four researchers and research teams living and working in different contexts in Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand. A methodological overview of these approaches is provided and stories are shared of working with theatre with Indigenous youth; of a pedagogy which affirms the centrality of the body in Indigenous teaching…
