**Post-war reconstruction of education in Tigray, Ethiopia** What was the plan for re-opening schools in Tigray after the devastating 2020-2022 civil war? Who was involved in decision-making, and what evidence did they draw on? What were the results?

This. Also: We’ve no idea how much groundbreaking research we might actually be missing out on when core research doesn’t have the opportunity to gradually unfold, take place without being tailored to surface claims about high impact and fantastic deliverables.

New issue of @ispjournal.bsky.social & in it our article on care-full research now has pg #s! In it @caltinmollica.bsky.social, Hayley Payne, Casey Odger-Jewell, & Savannah Spalding & I reflects on lessons a youth-led, adult-supported project can offer Intl Studies broadly doi.org/10.1093/isp/...

Text of an article abstract:
Abstract
Feminists have long called attention to often profoundly uneven power relations in international relations research, assumptions regarding who is able to be a “knowledge producer,” and the risks of extractive research. In research “on” and with young people, these dilemmas are compounded by ageist suppositions about youth competencies. This paper reflects on efforts by the authors to design and undertake a youth-led, adult-supported research project on youth activism and peace processes in South Sudan, Afghanistan, and Myanmar through virtual interviews. It discusses how our approach to skills training, mentorship, and research design empowers youth researchers to engage in dialogue with youth peacebuilders to establish a more collaborative research agenda. Centering collaboration offers opportunities for more responsive engagement with communities traditionally marginalized within the research environment. The global pandemic has raised questions about research at a distance, the requirements of “participation,” and the ethics of reciprocity with research participants as knowledge producers. In each case, challenges raised difficult questions about the ethics of pursuing research in these complex contexts. We offer the idea of care-full research that centers a feminist, reflexive approach, is collaborative in multiple ways, and generates new possibilities for knowledge creation amidst multiple crises and beyond.

On the 9th anniversary of the #YPS agenda Khaled Emam & @hmberents.bsky.social reflect on progress made by young people since 2015, highlighting their resilience amid crises & barriers to inclusion 🔗Blog unoy.org/seizing-the-...

"Young people have long been at the forefront of civil-rights, pro-democracy, anti-apartheid, environmental, and peace and justice movements around the world.

Their persistence in the face of innumerable challenges and often great personal risks evidences the significant role young people can play in addressing security crises and building peaceful and stable societies."
