Description

In this module, students critically engage with historical and sociological debates about youth movements and youth cultures around the world. This comparative approach highlights how the depictions and experiences of young people have changed over time, and yet at each stage, young people have been identified as a 鈥榩roblem鈥� group. We also examine how young people have responded to these labels by creating their own political movements and sub-cultures via protests, social activism, music, fashion, etc.
