Prof. Kate Tilleczek holds the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Youth, Education & Global Good in the Faculty of Education at York University. She is a Full Professor, member of Graduate Faculty (Education and Global Health) and Director (and founder in 2009) the the Young Lives Research Laboratory (YLRL), which employs intercultural and interdisciplinary approaches to research with, by and for young people and their communities. The objective is to work alongside youth and their communities to better understand and record how they navigate wellbeing amidst pressing planetary and social challenges such as ecological degradation, climate change and digital technologies. Prof. Tilleczek and her team have developed unique, youth-centred research processes and evidence and put them to use in co-developing education with and for young people . Her current projects include 1) Partnership for Youth and Planetary Wellbeing, 2) Youth in the Digital Age, and 3) Co-Developing Canada's Digital Wellbeing Hub. Working across countries, communities, and cultures with socio-ecological models of youth and planetary wellbeing, Prof. Tilleczek’s research garners new understanding about the wellbeing of young people and how to re-design education and policy alongside them.
