The Pandemic and the Challenges for Young People of Living Well in the Anthropocene
This article builds on work in which we have engaged nearly 100 young people in video-based interviews in two separate projects that have been concerned with asking young people about their lives in the present (that was 2020–2023) and the challenges and opportunities that they imagined in their futures—personally and more widely concerning the crises of the pandemic, the climate and global capitalism. That work has been framed by a critical enga…
Young People’s Hopes and Aspirations in a ‘Clever and Creative’ City During the Time of Covid-19
In this paper, we draw on the outcomes of a longitudinal, video-based study (2021–2023) of 40 + young people’s aspirations and their education, training and employment pathways in the regional centre of Geelong (Australia) — a ‘deindustrialising’ place being rebranded as ‘clever and creative’. In these contexts, there is much community, business and policy concern to develop the hopes and aspirations of disadvantaged young people for the jobs tha…

Young People and Stories for the Anthropocene
This edited collection presents stories of children and young people’s entanglements with times of ongoing crisis in the Anthropocene. The authors use biographical narratives and arts-based methodologies to further the discussion surrounding young people’s well-being, resilience, and enterprise. Through these stories, they seek to critically engage with the literature on the Anthropocene and interrogate concepts such as agency, structure, and bel…
Young people and the gendered and aesthetic dimensions of ‘enterprise’: Stories from a ‘Rust Belt’ city
In the ‘Rust Belt’ city of Geelong in Victoria, Australia, discourses of young people’s enterprise and innovation provide a counter-narrative to the prevailing material and symbolic consequences of industrial decline, job losses, and the growing insecurity of employment and income. GT Magazine is a weekly, large circulation magazine in Geelong with a significant focus on the activities and aspirations of enterprising young people. In this paper, …
