Bio: 
Joshua is a graduate student of childhood and youth studies under the guidance of Professor Robin DeLugan. His community-engaged ethnographic research with youth writers seeks to locate the connections that exist and the gaps that need to be filled to uplift the public participation of the disenfranchised. Grounded historically, emerging anthropologically and scaffolded by a critical consciousness, his work intends to contribute to scholarship on civic literacy as a force for equitable and inclusive education practices.
