Performative, Informative, Manipulative & Transformative Youth Voice: Youth-Led Social & Policy Change.
Advisor: Nicola Alexander
The purpose of this oral preliminary exam is to explore how youth organizations lead in policy and social change, while identifying the barriers and tensions youth experience with adult partners in formal policy-making spaces. This exploration is grounded in four theoretical perspectives of student voice: Performative; Informative; Manipulative; & Transformative Student Voice. This exam considers how adultism and intersectionality impact youth as well as youth resistance to institutional oppression.

The University of Minnesota campuses were built on the traditional homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, and scores of other Indigenous peoples who have walked on these lands from time immemorial. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
