The civic domain has taken its place in the scholarship and practice of youth development. From the beginning, the field has focused on youth as assets who contribute to the common good of their communities. Work at the cutting edge of this field integrates research and practice and focuses on the civic incorporation of groups who often have been marginalized from mainstream society. The body of work also extends topics of relevance to human development by considering themes of justice, social responsibility, critical consciousness, and collective action.
公民领域在青年发展的学术研究和实践中已占据一席之地。从一开始,该领域就将青年视为对社区共同利益有所贡献的资产。这一领域前沿的工作将研究与实践相结合,关注那些常常被主流社会边缘化群体的公民融入问题。通过思考正义、社会责任、批判意识和集体行动等主题,这一系列工作还拓展了与人类发展相关的议题。
