Youth, Education, and Marginality: Local and Global Expressions (2013) Kate Tilleczek and H. Bruce Ferguson, editors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This edited collection with contributions by scholars, educators, policy-makers, and notably, dozens of young people endeavours to cast a critical light on the nuances, complexities, and menacing subtleties of youth marginalization in "a moment of making space" (p. 2) for renewed alternatives and reinvigorated voices.The text is at once hopeful and heartbreaking, at times frustrating, even incredulous, but never lacking self-reflexivity and an appreciation for the myriad factors that serve to reproduce disparity and exclusion.Certain contributors quite justifiably point fingers (see King, Edwards, and Blackstock's scathing appraisal of the federal government's treatment of Aboriginal communities in Chapter 5), but more so the reader is encouraged to prepare for an interior journey of introspection and self-critique (see especially the self-incriminating tone of Smyth in Chapter 2).Several themes dance and mingle throughout the text.For instance, juxtaposition of disparate youth experiences is used to emphasize plural particularity over and above universal abstraction.This tactic effectively demonstrates the globally applicable threads of marginalization without relegating any individual or population to some holographic universal status, which collapses under the weight of its own particularity.Rummens and Dei portray this in simpler language in their exploration of racialized, immigrant, and Aboriginal youth: Important to note is that while marginalization trajectories may be unique both to specific individuals and different groups both within and over time, the overall processes of social exclusion are often very similar.The same is true of the attendant detrimental impacts and outcomes.(p.119)

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
