Throughout the course, we will traverse different sites of youth (sub)culture – from the public spaces of neighbourhoods to the private spaces of bedrooms, and from music scenes to social networking sites – to consider how and why youth (sub)cultures are formed, and what role they play in colouring the lives of those who participate in them. We will pay keen attention to themes such as style, authenticity, performance, ritual, marginalization, and resistance while examining how larger structures of inequality, consumption, and rebellion permeate youth (sub)cultures in different ways. Finally, questions of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, and dis/ability will be considered as we trace different perspectives on youth (sub)cultural studies and examine contemporary configurations of peer culture.- Designed and taught a 4th year post-secondary course to a class of over 50 students.- Created weekly lesson plans from scratch, employed a range of instructional methodologies to synthesize and present information in ways that can be easily understood by students. - Designed assessment materials and employed innovative classroom activities to gauge students' competencies in the course material. - Received glowing teaching evaluations, where students commented on the clarity of course materials and the hospitable classroom environment.
