Youth are often invited to participate as token participants in educational research and practice, but not given equal and intentional roles in designing, implementing, and leading efforts.

This session is led by Omaer Naeem, Associate, Education and Society Program at the Aspen Institute and Pragya Upreti, Senior Advisor – Kentucky Student Voice Team
