Presidential Session: Cultures, Transitions, Identities and Politics - Intersecting Approaches in Youth Studies

Monday, 7 July 2025: 09:00-10:45
Location: ASJE014 (Annex of the Faculty of Legal, Economic, and Social Sciences)
RC34 Sociology of Youth (host committee)

Language: English

Contemporary youth research is diverse and vibrant. However, there is arguably a tendency to research and theorise aspects of young lives in isolation, focusing on education and employment transitions, or cultures, or politics, or identities. This session calls for presentations that address ways to work across and beyond the division and silos in the sociology of youth and that take a holistic approach to thinking about youth and young lives.
