DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP\nSeldom do youth\, and in particular girls\, direct t
 he researcher’s gaze or control the camera’s lens. How can a collabora
 tive\, critical and creative approach to research help us understand what 
 young people are learning about their roles in society? This workshop will
  explore the use of participatory\, visually-informed research methods tha
 t engage youth and attempt to revise power relations employed in more trad
 itional positivist research. This presentation also considers the possibil
 ities of using critical\, creative and collaborative methods with youth in
  the contexts of research\, teaching and international development. This w
 orkshop will draw on a study called Citizen-Girls\, conducted in the Toron
 to area\, which used photovoice to explore ideas about gender with a group
  of young women. This study examined the myriad of ways that young women a
 re currently resisting\, defying and acting as citizens.\n\nPRESENTATION\n
 The growing literature on transnationalism has illustrated that policies a
 nd practices of citizenship education influenced by notions of social cohe
 sion promote compliance and volunteerism rather than democratic engagement
  and equity-seeking versions of citizenship. What does transnational citiz
 enship education look like today? This study will examine constructions of
  transnational citizenship through a critical discourse analysis of educat
 ional policy in three countries\, Australia\, Canada\, and India. In this 
 paper\, we argue that policy approaches are linked to national security ag
 endas that promote a vision of certain groups as actual or potential threa
 ts to security. As we face significant new global challenges to traditiona
 l notions of citizenship\, identity and belonging\, this study raises sign
 ificant questions about the nature of citizenship in a globalized world an
 d the growing dominance of neoliberal and neoconservative discourses in th
 e definitions of citizenship in education.\n
