Abstract:	This chapter reflects on a process of collaboratively producing knowledge between a university-based teacher-educator researcher (Emilee Moore) and a poet | researcher (Ginalda Tavares Manuel)1 who came together through a Youth Spoken Word (YSW) poetry organisation called Leeds Young Authors (LYA) based in Leeds, UK. This process was embedded in a broader linguistic ethnographic project led by Moore, with the organisation as its focal site, which formally took place over a period of 20 months from December 2015 to July 2017. The ethnographic project emerged from an interest in understanding the socially and educationally transformative potential of YSW, as both a powerful artistic and pedagogical practice, and as a transnational youth culture connecting diverse young people across the globe. YSW organisations aim to empower youth to use their ideas, their words, their voices, their bodies and their emotions as catalysts for personal development, critical learning and social change (e. g. Ibrahiim, 2016; Yanofsky et al. , 1999). As a teacher-educator researcher, Moore's goal was to learn from experiences and expertise developed outside of mainstream education in contributing to socially transformative pedagogical practices involving language in schools. Tavares Manuel was a teenage member of Leeds Young Authors at the time of the research.
