COMMUNITY RESEARCH REPORT
Hepburn, S. & Garang, K. ë. (2021, August 31). Supporting Black youths’ mental health, education and well-Being through community-based interventions: A research report. Black Creek Community Health Centre, Toronto.
My current research is on African-Canadian youth institutional marginality and South Sudanese collective identity in the context of state-building.
My work with immigrant youth and families in Calgary for nearly a decade exposed me to how system professionals such as teachers, social workers and police make decisions about African-Canadian youth. These system professionals are influenced by cultural conditioning, institutional policies and regulations, colonial histories, and Eurocentric epistemologies. They therefore make decisions mediated by these discourses instead of prioritizing what these young people have to say about themselves. Young people therefore feel misjudged and silenced as institutional discourses become the authority through which they are related to. This is the beginning of what I have referred to as social misrepresentation cycle.
I am also working on the historical development of South Sudanese collective identity. Westerners have for a long time spoken for Africans so they tend to dictate, without realizing, how Africans should call themselves.
