The following excerpt is from the article by Taia Goguen-Garner. The full article, “Grad Research: Incorporating Youth Perspectives in Monuments<\/a>“, can be found online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca Friend<\/a>, a Master\u2019s student in Public History<\/a> is researching how children and childhood have been represented in Canadian commemorations like monuments and memorials.Along with this research, Friend is also designing a participatory project with a group of children at an elementary school in Montreal where they will be asked to design their own monuments to Canadian childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friend\u2019s interest in this research piqued when working on co-curating an exhibition through Carleton\u2019s Curatorial Studies<\/a> program. The exhibition is called Morsels of Memory: A Taste of Ottawa\u2019s Food History<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI knew from this experience that working on exhibitions and in the field of public history more broadly was a path that interested me,\u201d shared Friend. \u201cHowever, I found that children and youth were largely excluded from these projects, both as a target audience and as co-producers on the projects. My interests therefore turned to seeing how I could meaningfully include children and youth in my public history practice and engage their input on topics that pertain to their daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friend is creating a working list of Canadian monuments and memorials featuring representations of and connections to young Canadians. She is looking at covering both thematic and geographic variety in order to provide a survey-style examination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
