Children and Youth Research HUB @ Congress Panels and Programs

Children and Youth Research HUB @ Congress
The Association for Research in Cultures of Youth People (ARCYP) promotes the study of young people's
cultures and texts across a range of disciplines. Our goal is to create a space for advocates, activists, and scholars
to exchange research about young people, and to create opportunities for collaboration between academic
scholars and members of community organizations that work with young people's cultures and texts.
ARCYP's Children and Youth Research HUB highlights research panels and programs at the 2014 Congress
meetings from across a range of research associations. Below, you will find excerpts from each Association's
program, with as much information about the date, time, location, participants and subject matter as we have
been able to gather. We welcome any suggestions from Congress delegates about the value of this resource,
programs or panels we have missed, and any changes you would recommend. Please send comments to
[email protected]. Please visit our website or Facebook page for more information.
