The political participation of youth is growing in importance with the proliferation of youth parliaments, councils, and online campaigning. Yet, these sites are not accessible to all youth, especially those from minority, or refugee communities. Activism by these types of youth is often denounced or reduced to dehumanising narratives of their experiences. This paper aims to explore alternative spaces for and political participation of refugees through participatory art and exhibition spaces, which are critical for devising policies for pre-emptive peacebuilding and challenging potential intercommunal conflict. In this paper, we draw on a Photovoice project in Istanbul, Johannesburg and a refugee settlement in South-West Uganda (Oruchinga) that brought youth from FDPs and host communities together to reflect on their everyday experiences. All these sites are marked by increasing anti-refugee sentiments and xenophobia, where the voices of refugees are often denied and misinterpreted, making them compelling cases to elaborate on alternative participation methods and spaces for the political participation of refugees. The paper engages with the idea of epistemic (in)justice and resistance as an overarching condition to explore how the youth developed collective political voices.

ABSTRACTAlthough young people are recognized as stakeholders who should be involved in public participation, engagement by youth advocates in local development and decision-making is scarce. Young people’s input tends to be seen as less valuable, especially when the prevailing positions on development overemphasize economic interests. This article is based on research conducted in rural border regions in mainland Portugal. We conducted semi-structured interviews with representatives of the municipalities (n = 36), a questionnaire (n = 3968) and biographical interviews with young people (n = 50). The results suggest that young people see themselves as capable of contributing to the development of their regions, whilst demonstrating innovative views, with some even proposing a paradigm shift that encompasses a new way of thinking about sustainability and quality of life. We argue that local bodies of governance would benefit from an intentional involvement of young people in local policy making processes, especially when they are focused on local development.KEYWORDS: Local developmentyouth participationcommunity resilienceborder studies Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was co-funded by national funds, through the Portuguese research funding agency (FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology, IP) and by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through the Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalization (COMPETE 2020) (PTDC/CED-EDG/29943/2017 – POCI-01-0145-FEDER-029943).

ABSTRACTSocial media has changed the landscape of adolescence, altering how young people communicate and connect with peers. This study explores how young women of color living in marginalized neighborhoods perceive, manage, and make meaning of social media threats and conflict. Previous research shows that social media narratives tend to reify gender differences and devalue the experiences of conflict among girls and young women. Focus group discussions among 41 youth, living in a disinvested neighborhood of Hartford, CT, and participating in a development program for adolescents at risk for violence involvement, suggest that girls use social media platforms to define, negotiate, and meet their developmental needs and enhance their wellbeing. These adolescents are intentional in their choices to enter the social media world; they use social media to cultivate their identity, protect their reputation, manage relationships, or simply be seen and heard. While corroborating previous findings concerning perceptions of social media conflicts, these girls were not passive consumers of social media; they had a nuanced sense of this tool and used it to resist violence and benefit their image. Identifying adolescent insights about how particular social media features influence conflict is critical to creating effective interventions.KEYWORDS: Youth of colorperceptions of girls and young womenidentitygendersocial mediaconflict AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge the staff at COMPASS for their dedication to the youth they serve and for their participation in and support of this research.

Undergraduates today are required to make strategic decisions about where and what they study, and how they allocate time to studies, extra-curricular activities, and work. International students are likely to experience the pressure to capitalize on their time more intensely because of the high cost of their degree, the work required to acculturate, and the uncertainty of mobility aspirations. Drawing on multi-modal, longitudinal data from a small, diverse group of working international undergraduates at a Canadian university, this article examines how they respond to pressures to be planful, employable and productive. We find that students’ lived experiences contradict idealized discourses of youth mobility. While they feel pressure to make the most of opportunities, the cost of intensive work and constraints on choices are apparent. The effort required to acculturate makes it difficult for such students to be efficient in their use of time. Finally, attempting to keep mobility options open in multiple sites that are constantly changing requires that they invest a significant amount of time and energy. Socio-demographic differences and mobility histories influence students’ ability to choose and their experiences of term-time work, as well as their ideas about what constitutes an appreciable life.

ABSTRACTThis article investigates the phenomenon of young people in China rejecting new technologies, embracing nostalgia, and engaging with nostalgic practices on social media platforms. Conducting qualitative interviews with participants recruited from the popular Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, the study draws on frameworks of social media fatigue and cultural capital to reveal the multi-layered motivations behind young people's use of vintage digital cameras as a means of resistance against the dominant consumerist culture and for self-expression. The findings emphasize the role of cultural capital in shaping nostalgic practices, as young people strategically accumulate and display it to distinguish themselves. This study highlights the complex interplay between cultural capital, identity, and social dynamics in contemporary Chinese society, shedding light on the diverse strategies employed by young people to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the modern world.KEYWORDS: Social medianostalgiayoung peopleXiaohongshuChina AcknowledgementWe would like to express my sincere gratitude to the reviewers of this paper.

ABSTRACTWhile past research into young people’s transitions out of the parental home identified a distinct student housing pathway offering an institutionally supported ‘housing advantage’, more recently scholars have pointed to widespread housing precarity among university students, reconceptualising the housing challenges students face as a ‘hidden curriculum’ that reinforces inequalities. Meanwhile, time spent navigating this hidden curriculum in increasingly widespread purpose-built student accommodations (PBSA) has the potential to reshape the student habitus, fostering future preferences for the high-density, privatized urban space PBSA represents. This paper re-examines these notions, drawing on interviews with 27 students in Waterloo, Canada, regarding their past experiences and future expectations of housing. While the interviews reveal a multitude of pathways, concepts of housing advantage and hidden curriculum are not as contradictory as they may appear, with many students benefitting from supports offered by university residences before facing an expensive, discriminatory and predatory rental market. Although students’ experiences normalized high-density living, they did not necessarily supersede long-term preferences for detached home ownership, and access to amenities was more important than private space as such.KEYWORDS: Habitushousing pathwayshousing precaritypurpose-built student accommodationstudentificationuniversity AcknowledgementsThis article is an extension of work carried out during my doctorate at the University of Waterloo, completed in 2020.

摘要虽然过去对年轻人从父母家中过渡的研究发现了一条独特的学生住房途径，提供了制度支持的“住房优势”，但最近学者们指出，大学生中普遍存在住房不稳定性，将学生面临的住房挑战重新定义为强化不平等的“隐藏课程”。与此同时，在越来越普遍的专用学生宿舍(PBSA)中，花时间在这个隐藏的课程中，有可能重塑学生的习惯，培养未来对PBSA所代表的高密度、私有化城市空间的偏好。本文通过对加拿大滑铁卢的27名学生的采访，重新审视了这些观念，了解了他们过去的经历和对住房的未来期望。虽然面试揭示了多种途径，但住房优势和隐性课程的概念并不像表面上那样矛盾，许多学生在面临昂贵、歧视性和掠夺性的租赁市场之前，都受益于大学宿舍提供的支持。虽然学生们的高密度生活经历正常化了，但他们并不一定取代对独立住宅所有权的长期偏好，而且获得便利设施比私人空间更重要。本文是我在滑铁卢大学攻读博士学位期间所做工作的延伸，该工作于2020年完成。因此，我要感谢我的导师Markus Moos和委员会Martine August, Pierre Filion和Tara Vinodrai的指导，尽管他们不应对本文中的任何错误或遗漏负责。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1不包括与父母同住或从其他地方通勤的学生蒂芙尼是个例外，她在滑铁卢学习期间住在家里，不包括在多伦多的工作学期。本研究得到了滑铁卢大学住房与住宿部的支持;加拿大社会科学与人文研究理事会[资助号:767-2016-1258]。

In this article we aim to understand how everyday family practices and practices of intimacy are connected in the formation of emotional ties in young people’s family relationships, by examining their relationship with their parents across three generations. The analyses draw on qualitative biographical interviews conducted with women and men in intergenerational chains of 24 sons/daughters (born 1992–1993), 23 of their fathers/mothers (born 1963–1970) and 21 of their grandfathers/grandmothers (born 1931–1945). By first exploring the narratives of the joint everyday practices between young people and their parents and, second, examining the emotional reflexivity in these relational narratives, we highlight differences in young people’s relations to their parents. Contrasting the oldest (1950s) and youngest (2010s) youth generations reveals joint activities and closeness to parents in both generations, while the degree of disclosing intimacy, individualised respect and shared interests marks the co-constructive nature of the youngest’ parental relations. The middle generation’s narratives are distinctive in describing themselves and their parents as living separate lives. This article contributes to the growing field of sociological youth research on family relations and the intimate aspects of the relationships between youth and their parents.

This paper investigates young people’s mobile practices of ‘making do’ as they negotiate work, study and play in the home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on Singapore, and drawing on original empirical data derived from online journaling by twenty participants, the paper elaborates on their practices of ‘making do’ when working from home. Using an interdisciplinary approach spanning youth, cultural and architectural studies, the paper considers new formations and appropriations of domestic time and space. Critically situating the home as a hybrid domestic characterised by its porous public-private space and multiple-disjunctive time, ‘making do’ is evident in a range of spatial tactics: from occupying temporary mobile spaces to altering physical spaces with objects and devices, to time-sharing, to developing practices that affirm and contest ascribed social roles. Through switching objects and roles in the hybrid domestic home, our study participants not only created new mobilities within the immobile constraints of the pandemic home, they also transformed the spatial and temporal norms of study, work and play.
