*Title:* Psychosocial Costs and Benefits of Resisting Oppression
*Abstract: *Critical consciousness – the process whereby marginalized
groups become aware of systemic inequities, develop beliefs about their
ability to create change, and engage in actions to produce said change – is
considered an antidote to oppression and fosters collective empowerment and
well-being. At the same time, resisting oppression is emotionally taxing.
This talk will explore these trade-offs. First, I will review past research
identifying key correlates and consequences of critical consciousness
processes on youth well-being, highlighting examples from my work. Second,
I will present a developing community-engaged research partnership for a
project that will utilize a youth advisory board to investigate the
psychosocial costs and benefits of young immigrants' activism. Finally, we
will discuss the unique promises and challenges of conducting
community-engaged research in this space and invite audience feedback on
this work in progress.
