Globally, young people face weak labour market demand and have been particularly susceptible to recent livelihood stresses and shocks linked to climate change. In this article, we consider what happens when young people face intersecting challenges including climate change. While much of the literature focuses on barriers to work and how to break these, we consider young people�s struggles and successes in securing and maintaining work. The focus is on Uganda, demographically one of the world�s youngest countries and home to a largely �underemployed� cohort of young people. Our findings identify some of the many ways in which climate change disrupts young people�s livelihoods. Young people are already proactively responding to climate change. This points to the need for other actors to learn from young people�s existing endeavours, to build in more support and opportunities, manage risk and insecurity, and construct a more climate change-resilient infrastructure.

The articles presented here engage with some of the multifaceted and intersecting challenges faced by young people today � these include conflict, insecurity, limited government support, deep-set gender discrimination, climate change, infectious disease and a widespread lack of decent jobs. While recognising the structural influences on young people�s circumstances, the articles gathered here bring young people�s perspectives, experiences and actions to the fore. With an eye on the future, and a sense of the past, this collection is situated in the resent. Most of the research presented here stems from the British Academy�s Youth Futures research funding scheme. The results showcased here remind us how the present matters in and of itself, while influenced by the past and playing a key role in shaping the future. Thus there is a triple significance to understanding young people�s challenges: they matter for today and for how they impact tomorrow, and will be best understood with reference to the past.

The afterword summarises the findings of how young people in the Global South perceive their current ways of making a living, and how they see their futures when there are so few jobs available to them. It also describes the ways researchers can work in partnership with young people so that research becomes closer to being youth led. This approach encourages young people to work to bring about change. Their involvement is essential to have impact.

We describe the commissioning, publication, and contents of a report on legal aspects of memory. The report was the result of a unique collaboration between the Psychology and Law �Sections� of the British Academy that brought together the contributions of memory and legal experts from both inside and outside the Academy. The report briefly summarises psychological research on memory and is designed to be of practical value to busy legal and criminal justice professionals. Topics covered include memory concepts, memory development including childhood amnesia, interviewing witnesses, the effects of suggestion and misinformation, the effects of trauma on recall, adult memory for childhood events, factors affecting eyewitness identification, conditions such as psychiatric and neurological disorders that may impair memory, issues in the memory of suspects such as deception and reported amnesia, and the role of the expert witness in court.

Young people are frequently involved in research about their own lives and their contributions to the shaping of research priorities increasingly valued. Recently, young people�s participation in research has been extended to advisory group roles including supporting the planning, design and delivery of projects. Such involvement marks an important shift towards valuing young people�s views on how research should be conducted and is often required as part of research funding processes. In this article, we explore the value and contribution of young people�s involvement in a research project focusing on the livelihoods of young migrants in Ghana and the related possibilities for empowerment. Our collaborations remind us of the pitfalls of working from an adult centric lens, and how this may inadvertently contribute to the reproduction of adult ways of understanding young lives. Here, our project Young Person Advisory Group members share their experiences of being youth advisors � highlighting both challenges and opportunities for young people�s meaningful involvement in research.

Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the role of women in the prevention of violent extremism and within extremist networks. Yet research and scholarship in this area remains limited and a deeper engagement with gender and the role of norms around masculinities and femininities in violent extremism is needed. This special issue includes a selection of both timely and relevant articles by academics and practitioners, mostly from the Global South, focusing on gender and violent extremism particularly in the context of East Africa. The articles were presented at the Global Network on Gender and Responding to Violent Extremism (GARVE) online conference in November 2021. GARVE is an international network involving academics, policymakers and practitioners to promote innovative and critical thinking on violent extremism from a gender perspective and facilitate shared learning.

This article argues that lyric poetry is a form suited to contesting dominant ideas about masculinity because of its thematic and formal preoccupations with voice. It argues that voice offers a different way of viewing the social constrictions that accompany male experiences of ageing to the well-known theory of the mask of ageing. Through a study of a long history of Western lyric verse, which includes writers such as William Shakespeare, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost and Philip Larkin, the article explores the significance of restricted breathing in relation to dominant norms of masculine reticence and the physiological deterioration of the vocal profile in age. It then explores the possibility of counter-voicings of masculinity in poems with intergenerational themes from a group of post-war British poets.

This article is a collection of Somali women�s narratives during Somaliland�s early peace and reconciliation conferences (1992�7) and their experience of the post-conflict reconstruction period (2000�12). Women�s experience with violence, insecurity and prevailing gender norms highlights that peace is not the absence of gendered violence and that everyday peace is mired in political stability and physical insecurity. Twenty years on, women�s narratives have helped to fill gaps by showing how women�s contributions have been sidelined but also demonstrate their unique experiences of �peace� and �security�. This has been instrumental to framing Somaliland�s political history as a region exempt from the civil strife manifest in other parts of the Horn. This article examines the sites of contestations and conflict that have emerged as a consequence of women�s narratives being marginalised and its implications on how �peace� and �security� are practised and framed in the Somaliland context.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development�s (OECD) Frascati Manual is the internationally accepted methodology for collecting and reporting data on R&D. This study interviewed countries in the OECD that do � and those that do not � permit Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) R&D expenditure within their R&D tax credit programmes. It finds that how countries choose to adopt the Frascati Manual�s definition of R&D is a policy choice led by its domestic technical, financial, and political objectives. The UK, like many OECD countries, claims to use the Frascati Manual to define R&D within its R&D tax credit programme, but despite these claims, it excludes SSH R&D from its definition of R&D. By excluding AHSS R&D from its R&D definition for the purpose of tax relief, the UK government risks ignoring the full value of R&D in the UK economy and risks missing out on incentivising investment in AHSS-related innovation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comparative study of R&D definitions for tax relief.
