DESCRIPTION:This paper describes my PhD research that explores how youth f
 rom one low-income Cape Town\, South African neighbourhood learn through d
 ialogue in three different places. These places include 1) a school\, 2) a
  group of young hip-hop artists writing lyrics and participating in commun
 ity development work with a local NGO and 3) a youth radio show involving 
 young people from the same school and community. Dialogic learning is theo
 rised as taking place through multiple perspectives being held together in
  tension with one another.  Analysing young people learning through dialog
 ue therefore involves looking at the ways in which youth use forms of lang
 uage to participate in dialogues\, grapple with the perspectives of others
 \, reflect on their own positions and develop their ‘utterances’ throu
 gh mechanisms such as “double-voicedness”. I analyse whether young peo
 ple are afforded opportunities to integrate new concepts into their develo
 ping consciousness\, in the different places researched in this project\, 
 documenting their attempts to integrate the ‘words of others’ into the
 ir personal conceptual and communicative repertoires.
