Introduction to Cultural Studies: An Invitation to the Larger Community

Over these next nine weeks, our Project 1:17 students with be taking a class with me entitled, Introduction to Cultural Studies. In this class, I have assigned for them to read two books on differing aspects of youth culture:

Walt Mueller's, Engaging the soul of youth culture: Bridging teen worldviews and Christian truth.

Scott Larson and Larry Brendtro's Reclaiming our prodigal sons and daughters: A practical approach to connecting with youth in conflict.

Each week I will be posting a place for reflection and discussion on that particular chapter. This will correlate with a presentation on an at-risk youth subculture that our students will be researching.

We would like to invite you to join in this discussion. You are welcome to purchase the books and read along with us if you'd like.

If you have any additional questions, please post these and I'll try best to respond.

Steve
