Youth work with Equitas
Amy Cooper, PhD candidate, has been involved in a Partnership Engagement research project (PI Natasha Blanchet-Cohen) with the human rights education organization Equitas, that explores the complexity of allyship among youth workers and racialized young people in Canada. She was involved in designing and facilitating participatory activities with youth and workers in Montreal, Vancouver, and Winnipeg, such as the Adult Allies & Youth Leadership: Research in Action panel and workshop held at Concordia's 4th Space. She was also involved in informing a practical tool for youth workers to reflect on allyship and co-authoring an academic article that identifies the dimensions of allyship.
