Dear BSA Youth Study Group, Nottingham Trent University is hosting an event on 28 June which will explore the discourse of youth violence. For more information please visit this link: https://www.ntu.ac.uk/about-us/events/events/2019/06/a-youth-studies-perspective-on-the-discourse-of-youth-violence We are currently calling for abstracts for those interested in presenting at this event and is open to academics, community and youth workers, and young people. This event is intended to address the raced and classed representations of young people circulating in recent media coverage of incidents of violence, associated political and policy discourses. These representations arguably position young people simplistically as perpetrators and victims of violence, and centre criminal justice and public health responses. In this discourse of youth violence, there is an elision of dimensions of structural inequality, systematic policy discrimination against young people, and the experience of symbolic violence. Please submit abstracts of no more than 300 words to Frances Howard ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by Friday 7th June, 5pm. Selected presenters will be notified by Friday 14th June. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
