Still Need a Course Next Semester? Check Out the Youth Studies Minor and Classes

submitted by finka2@augsburg.edu

The Youth Studies minor is an interdisciplinary exploration of young peoples’ lived realities and opportunities to support them. The minor is designed to supplement a student’s current course of study particularly if that student is considering youth work in the future. Youth Studies students develop constructive and critical lenses for understanding society’s perceptions and treatment of young people. These lenses also shed light on young peoples’ processes of constructing meaning and culture. Students in this minor also gain practical skills through experiential learning opportunities. The underlying philosophy of the Youth Studies minor is one that supports young people’s voice and power. Young people are often targeted as a menace to society, but we see young people as gifted and powerful agents of positive change. Students in this minor will learn to take this approach to youth work into their chosen professions.

YST 320: Working with Children & Youth (4 credits, MWF) will be offered this spring with Professor Terrance Kwame-Ross. It will discuss interdisciplinary approaches to working with young people.
