摘要：In this paper we examine digital storytelling as a mode of arts-inspired inquiry: in
particular we consider digital storytelling as a powerful arts-inspired approach that
can help researchers, practitioners, and communities understand and support
indigenous and marginalized youth. Our two-fold focus is on: (1) a digital
storytelling initiative that engaged hundreds of Alaska Native youth in the
production of digital stories; and, (2) on findings from a subsequent pilot study
which assessed the value of analyzing the young people’s digital stories produced
through this initiative, as windows into the worlds, identities, struggles and concerns of these particular youth. Overall, we aim to use the findings from this
pilot study, and impressions from the young people’s digital media productions, to
demonstrate the potential of digital storytelling as a transformative arts-inspired
inquiry which engages young people in processes of identity making, aesthetics, and
voice.
