About Us

ARCYP Goals

  • To promote the study of and research in young peoples’ cultures and texts, in Canada and internationally, across a range of disciplines, and to build an understanding of such scholarship that defines “young people,” “culture,” and “text” broadly.

  • To create interdisciplinary spaces for advocates, activists, and scholars to exchange research on young peoples’ cultures and texts, and to create opportunities for collaboration between academic scholars and members of community organizations that work with young peoples’ cultures and texts.
