SAVE THE DATE: Journal of Youth Studies Conference 2015: CONTEMPORARY YOUTH, CONTEMPORARY RISKS in Copenhagen, March 30th to April 1st 2015.
Following the successful Journal of Youth Studies conference in Glasgow in April 2013, the journal hosts a 2015 conference entitled ‘Contemporary Youth, Contemporary Risks’. The conference aims at facilitating discussions that address the diverse challenges and risks that contemporary youth face. Risks in present-day societies are on the one hand structural, relating to youth transition processes, educational decisions, access to the labour market, housing conditions etc. On the other hand risks are also cultural, resulting from actively chosen activities and situations that are part of youth (sub-)cultural activities.
Like the Journal of Youth Studies, the approach of the conference is broad and inclusive in terms of theoretical approach and thematic content. The conference is multi-disciplinary and welcomes all with an interest in studying youth, regardless of discipline.
