With the proliferation a nd near ubiquity of digital devices in our daily lives\, digital media are now intricately linked to societal processes that simultaneously reproduc e and challenge existing forms of inequity\, create new forms of marginali zation\, and generate unprecedented possibilities for transformative solut ions. This panel brings together five teams of researchers who explore you ng people’s engagement with new media in classrooms\, communities\, and th e fluid spaces in between. Through an interactive symposium format\, the p resenters will highlight the intersections and tensions in their work as t hey collectively tackle the panel’s central\, thematic question: how\, und er what conditions\, and for whom\, do new digital tools and media become resources for learning\, political critique\, and action by young people?< /p>\n
The session explores the unique affordances and limitations of dig
ital tools and media in a wide-range of formal and informal contexts:
\n1. Tapan Parikh will draw on his findings from a 10th-grade Sociology c
ourse to illustrate how alternative pathways to computational thinking for
underrepresented students\, grounded in design and data\, can support aut
hentic social projects that are relevant to them and their communities.
\n2. Thomas Philip and colleagues will examine how the introduction of
new digital tools in an introductory high school computer science course\,
which was intended to engage students of color in computational and stati
stical thinking\, inadvertently re-inscribed inequitable racialized relati
onships of power.
\n3. Joseph Polman will examine the synergies and t
ensions that arise between cutting-edge science\, complex data\, and the p
ersonal and cultural concerns of youth and their communities\, when young
people in school and out-of-school contexts work with peers\, teachers\, p
rogram facilitators\, and outside editors to produce infographics-based da
ta journalism.
\n4. Ben Kirshner will draw on data from community-bas
ed youth organizing in Ireland\, Northern Ireland\, South Africa\, and the
United States to analyze variation in how groups mix face-to-face organiz
ing with new digital media to build political power and voice among margin
alized young people.
\n5. Noel Enyedy and colleagues will consider ho
w “cybermurals” – digital murals jointly constructed by youth and communit
y-based activist artists that are interactive and capable of being modifie
d by audiences – engage youth in learning about urban planning while allow
ing them to develop identities as activists and members of the community.<

To generate meaningful dialogue amongst the panelists and with the audience\, each presentation will be limited to 8 minutes. During the 2-m inute transitions between the presenters’ talks\, the audience will be ask ed to individually reflect on the panel’s central\, thematic question in l ight of the preceding presentation. After the formal presentations\, and i n lieu of a discussant\, the panelists will engage in a dialogue amongst t hemselves. In this 20-minute segment\, the panelists will pose questions t o each other to highlight the convergences and divergences in their work\, particularly with respect to the panel’s central\, thematic question. The final 20-minutes will be reserved for a whole-group discussion to allow a udience members to share their questions\, comments\, and insights.
