Youth Transitions in Troubled Times
A BSA Youth Study Group event, co-sponsored by The British Library
Wednesday 28th October 2009 at SSPSSR, University of Kent
<http://www.kent.ac.uk/sspssr>
Keynote speakers:
Sue Heath, Professor of Sociology, University of Southampton
Valerie Hey, Professor of Education, University of Sussex
As well as the keynote papers, there will be four papers by early career
researchers and postgraduate students.
This event will bring together postgraduate researchers and academics to
discuss the impact of the current recession on young people's
transitions in education, employment, housing and relationships.
It will be an informal environment for postgraduate researchers on youth
experiences and transitions to discuss how the current context
resituates their research and impacts on the lives of their respondents.
The day aims to raise questions about the way in which the current
economic downturn might affect the transitions of young people in
different ways to recessions past. It hopes to emphasise the extent to
which gender, race and class shape the transitions young people are able
to make in the current economic climate.
