<p><strong>Technology Use Among Marginalized Youth</strong></p>

<p>In this workshop led by Assistant Professor Anamika Barman-Adhikari\, you will learn how communication technology can be used to reach and engage marginalized young people\, what lessons have been learned\, and how information and communication technologies (ICT) can be adapted for social service and non-profit settings. Discuss recent research on ICT use among youth who have experienced social and economic marginalization. Explore interventions in the United States that have used technology to engage this population\, and learn how the takeaways can be translated into service and policy initiatives that reduce disparities in accessing information and other resources among this vulnerable group of young people.</p>

	<li>Describe the impact of these technical innovations on social inclusion\, civic engagement\, and behavior.</li>
	<li>Identify specific interventions that successfully utilized ICT with young people who have experienced marginalization.</li>
	<li>Explore ways in which ICT can be designed and tailored to engage and reach this group of young people.</li>

<strong>Anamika Barman-Adhikari</strong> is an assistant professor of Social Work in the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. Her research interests are broadly centered on understanding the social-contextual determinants of risk and protective behaviors among vulnerable youth populations\, such as homeless and minority youth. Utilizing an ecological approach\, her work aims to assess how family\, peers\, community and the society at large define the contexts within which vulnerable youth function and how these contexts help to explicate the patterns of risk and protective behaviors that these youth engage in. The goal of Barman-Adhikari’s research is to create prevention interventions that acknowledge these contextual environments and utilize social network methodology to determine how these new ideas can be disseminated and sustained using a community-based participatory research approach.</p>
