Special Issue Theme
At the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, in the context of rapid technological change and extensive economic and social uncertainty, the lives and identities of young people continue to be the subject of a broad range of scholarship which is as stimulating as it is important. Yet such scholarship often has fallen fairly clearly within discrete and established traditions of youth research, such as 'youth transitions' and 'youth cultures', with only occasional dialogue between these.
Building on the theme of the recent international Youth 2010: Identities, Transitions and Cultures conference (University of Surrey 2010), this proposed special issue of the Journal of Sociology (JoS) will aim specifically to consider how the relationship between identities, transitions and cultures might be understood more integrally and inter-changeably, thus entering into a dialogue that has remained relatively under-explored in youth studies to date. Our aim is to attract papers which in some way address the interplay of identities, transitions and cultures in local and/or global contexts and which build on a 'global' sociology of youth. We therefore seek papers in any of the following broad areas that somehow address this interplay:
· Education and training
· Inclusion and exclusion
· Employment , un-employment, under-employment
· Families and the domestic sphere
· Locality and community
· Economic hardship
· Criminality and criminalisation
· Media representations
· Use of media and communications (including social media)
· Gender and sexuality
· Ethnicity
· Class
· Public and private space
· Leisure, culture and tastes
· Consumption
· Cultural industries
· Music, style and leisure scenes
· Subcultures
· Political engagement
· Friendships, relationships and networks
· Methodologies
