Rochester —
"Going on 13," an award-winning documentary about the life of four pre-teen girls, will be shown at the University of Rochester Warner School of Education from 6-8 p.m. Feb. 2 in Dewey Hall, Room 1-101, on the school's campus.
Interviews with the girls are combined with stop-motion animation to share their stories about growing up in urban America.
"In our current culture, adolescence is constructed as a time of change and challenges," Joyce Duckles, Warner School doctoral candidate who is leading the human development film series, said in a press release. "Following these four girls for four years helps us consider what it means today to be a girl and a young woman, to grow up in an urban context, and to navigate relationships across school and home."
The screening is a free community event and will be followed by a discussion of the documentary. The panel discussion will be moderated by Dena Phillips Swanson, associate professor of counseling and human development at the Warner School, and will include panelists Brian Bailey, assistant professor in adolescent education at Nazareth College; Laura Rebell Gross, president of the Young Women's College Prep Charter School; and Imani Monroe, a 15-year-old from East High School.
A sign language interpreter will be present at the screening.
