Political Participation and Identity Among South Asian Youth in Calgary
Summary
This study looks at how South Asian youth in Calgary think about politics and what influences their participation. We are interested in how identity, values, and personal experiences shape political views and trust in institutions. Participants will complete a short online survey (10–15 minutes), and some may choose to take part in a follow-up interview (30–60 minutes). The goal is to better understand how young people from diverse backgrounds engage with politics in Canada.
