Our Mission
As YISE faculty, we aim to be child and youth-centered in our work (research, teaching and service) in that we focus on the everyday, lived experiences of children and youth in communication and information contexts, with particular emphasis on promoting their well-being and creating space for their voices.
Our Purpose
The purpose of YISE is to serve as an interdisciplinary space to bring together faculty and students who are interested in the scholarship focused on children and youth's experiences in communication and information contexts (e.g. libraries, museums, online spaces, youth programs, informal and formal learning settings).
