[youthradioleaders] resources on teaching, youth, pedagogy?

[elisabeth soep]

Hi all!

I taught an urban education course a couple years ago at UC Berkeley,  
and here are some of the texts that went over especially well:

Kelley, R. 1998: Yo Mama’s DysFUNKtional: Fighting the Culture Wars  
in Urban America. Boston: Beacon Press.

hooks, b. 1994. Teaching to transgress: education and the practice of  
freedom. New York: Routledge.

Delpit, L. 1988. The Silenced Dialogue: Power and Pedagogy in  
Educating Other People’s Children. Harvard Educational Review, 58:  
280-298. (A MUST!)

Ladson-Billings, G. 1994. The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of  
African American Children. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

Mahiri, J. 2003. What they Don’t Learn in School: Literacy in the  
Lives of Urban Youth. Peter Lang.

Ariki Varney, J. 2001. Undressing the Normal: Community Efforts for  
Queer Asian and Asian American Youth. In Troubling Intersections of  
Race and Sexuality: Queer Students of Color and Anti-Oppressive  
Education. Lanham, MD: Rowman and Littlefield.

Fleetwood, N. 2005. Authenticating practices: Producing realness,  
performing youth. In. S. Maira and E. Soep (Eds.). Youthscapes: the  
popular, the national, the global, 155-172. Philadelphia: University  
of Pennsylvania Press.

For youth media writing, check out David Buckingham, Brian Goldfarb,  
Henry Jenkins, Steve Goodman, and Glynda Hull.

There's a great new book out called Beyond Resistance! Youth Activism  
and Community Change, edited by Cammarota, Ginwright, and Noguera.

And here comes the shameless self promotion (apologies in advance!).  
I've written a bunch about youth media and Youth Radio (including  
some co-authored stuff with Youth Radio colleagues and graduates).  
You can find specific references on our blog,  
www.dropthatknowledge.wordpress.com (accessible through YR's website,  
in the blog section). And I'm working on a book with Vivian Chavez  
that'll be coming soon from UC Press.

Thanks for all the other great references folks have shared!
