Youth arts pedagogy for climate justice
Beyond rationality
In this article, we propose that using student-centred pedagogical approaches and engaging in the possibly controversial practice of educator self-disclosure may engender spaces in which educators, researchers and students can engage with the pressing question of sexual violence prevention together and, in particular, how can we keep each other safe? We present a case study that highlights the challenges faced as educators/researchers in creating…
Little words BIG Issues
Recognising young women’s authorship as a powerful force for civic change, we developed a creative framework for applied theatre that cultivates a space for young women to co-author little words, BIG ISSUES: a diversity and inclusion workshop facilitated in cooperation with U.S middle school students. Activating girl-led activism through performance-based methods, students envisioned a more inclusive community by practising how to author response…

In 1987, DAWN authors Gita Sen and Caren Grown published their groundbreaking book, D…

The Objectification of Things, created and performed by Michelle Ellsworth, was a multimedia extravaganza in which we not only witnessed the lifecycle of an object—a hamburger—through birth, life, death, and resurrection, but also were challenged to consider the reality of climate change…
