Her research centers on community youth development with a focus on rights-based approaches to programs and services, culture, and eco-citizenship, particularly as it relates to immigrant and indigenous young people. She is interested in the opportunities and limitations for immigrant and indigenous young people in being change agents in their schools, homes, and communities, as well as the perspectives of youth in providing for rights-based and culturally-responsive services and programs. She is also interested in developmental evaluation as a way of creating space to engage young people and communities to assess their own realities and use this knowledge to inform future action. Dr. Blanchet-Cohen has a well-rounded record of publications, and has been an invited speaker nationally and internationally in the area of youth participation and citizenship, culturally-responsive ecocitizenship, developmental evaluation, and children\u2019s rights. As an interdisciplinary and engaged scholar, her participation in national and international initiatives have contributed to building the capacity of human ecologies &#8211; including federal, provincial, and municipal polices and services, and school, family and peer groups \u2013 to positively support the quality of young peoples\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Education<br>\nPhD, Curriculum and Instruction, University of Victoria<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MA, International Affairs, Carleton University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MA, Public Policy &amp; Public Administration, Carleton University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BA, Political Science, McGill University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affiliations<br>\nDialog &#8211; R\u00e9seau de recherche et de connaissances relatives aux peuples autochtones<br>\nObservatoire jeunes et soci\u00e9t\u00e9<br>\nCentr\u2019ERE &#8211; Centre de recherche en \u00e9ducation et formation relatives \u00e0 l\u2019environnement et \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cocitoyennet\u00e9<br>\nLoyola College for Diversity and Sustainability (fellow)<br>\nCarrefour Action Municipale des Familles (accreditation committee)<br>\nEquitas (Progam committee board member)<br>\nResearch interests<br>\nChild agency and child participation<br>\nCommunity youth development<br>\nChildren and ecocitizenship<br>\nDevelopmental evaluation<br>\nImmigrant youth<br>\nIndigenous youth<br>\nCulturally-safe child and youth services and programs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/faculty\/natasha-blanchet-cohen.html#IDX_BIOGRAPHY\">http:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/faculty\/natasha-blanchet-cohen.html#IDX_BIOGRAPHY<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":687,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Natasha","cu_people_last_name":"Blanchet-Cohen","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[31],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-450","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-general"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Associate Professor ","cu_people_degree":"","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/450\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":688,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/450\/revisions\/688"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=450"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
