Handbook on Youth ActivismThis dynamic Handbook offers state-of-the-art analysis of the new generation of youth activists who are demanding change. Bringing together eminent scholars, rising academic stars and youth activists, this Handbook provides a unique and essential insight into the power of youth activism today.
Jerusha Conner deftly brings together contributors from the global north and south who explore youth activism through a range of multidisciplinary methods including systematic literature reviews, ethnographic studies, photo-voice exhibits and first-hand narrative accounts. Chapters cover the nature of youth activism in different geopolitical contexts, the invisible labour of youth activism, and the effects of youth activism on youth, their institutions, and societies. Presenting findings from cutting-edge research, this Handbook highlights how youth activists are sparking important conversations about what is right and what must change in their institutions, nation-states, and the world in order to secure a just and viable future for themselves and others.
An authoritative analysis of the field, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for academics, students and researchers specialising in politics and public policy, sociology and social policy, education policy and the sociology of youth and childhood. It will also be of interest to youth activists and their allies to better understand, assess, and improve their movements efficacy.
