- Title
World Making, Critical Pedagogies, and the Geographical Imagination: Where Youth Work Meets Participatory Research.
- Authors

- Abstract
Renewed interest in the critical geographies of education has raised productive yet under-examined synergies with reflections taking place among radical youth work and participatory research practitioners. In particular, such intersections point to important ways that the geographical imagination might advance a critical yet creative means of learning through the living material forces of everyday worlds. This paper examines this common ground through a collaborative, London-based case study exploring young people's sense of home and belonging in the inner-city. It argues that cross-overs between the praxis of participatory research and youth work offer generative potential to act alongside young people in the production of autonomous geographical knowledges. Specifically, the case is made for prioritising an imaginative, experiential and intersubjective pedagogical process of 'world making', as an alternative to practices that intervene in, act upon and ultimately 'other' the everyday lives of young people.
