Dear colleague you are warmly invited to,****
*'European Islands: similarities and differences in young people’s
constructions of identities in Iceland and Cyprus' Lecture by Professor
Alistair Ross,
Thursday 12th January 2012 at London Metropolitan University*****
This fourth lecture in the Jean Monnet Lecture Series: *Border Crossings,
Moving Borders*, will look at young people in Iceland and Cyprus - one
country a candidate country for membership of the European Union, the other
a recent new member. Both are islands, and both are geographically at some
distance from the core continental landmass of Europe. How do these
factors impact on young people's sense of being European and Icelandic or
Cypriot? Do they have different constructions of their understanding of
their country, and of Europe, than their parents or grandparents? The
lecture will present the results of a series of focus groups in which over
250 young people, in small groups, discussed their ideas about their
identities and futures.
****
The lecture will take place on *Thursday 12th January 2012 from 5.30-7pm in
Room T1-20,* Tower Building, London Metropolitan University, London N7 8DB.
