In their own words: 41 Stories of Young People’s Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship and cyber safety are often used interchangeably in the context of young people’s internet use, depicting the young person as passive, vulnerable and in need of adult intervention to navigate an unsafe online environment and perpetuating reductive and deterministic initiatives that rarely respond to young people’s own online perspectives and experiences. This discussion maps recent definitions and debates about digital citizens…
Interrogating race, unsettling whiteness: Concepts of transitions, enterprise and mobilities in Australian youth studies
This paper interrogates how three key concepts in youth studies – ‘transitions’, ‘the enterprising self’ and ‘mobilities’ – have historically centred the experiences of white/Anglo young people in the Australian settler colonial context. A race critical analysis of these major concepts that foregrounds colonialism, racialised migration schemes, multicultural policies and everyday racism has yet to be applied in any substantial way. This approach …
Researching race in Australian youth studies
This paper seeks to historicise the formation of youth studies in Australia with a specific focus on how the absence of Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall and other race critical and postcolonial scholars has produced particular research cultures, trajectories and traditions that have thus far made it difficult to incorporate race and ethnicity as central to an Australian youth studies agenda, both theoretically and methodologically. Drawing on a range of …
The ethnicised hustle: Narratives of enterprise and postfeminism among young migrant women
Discourses of hustling are ever-present in a global, capitalist society in which, among other reforms, notions of time are compressed and intensified and neoliberalism is operationalised as a form of affective self-governance. Global brand campaigns like Nike’s ‘Rise and Grind’ want consumers to believe that hard work and persistence produces individual exceptionalism. Young people working in technology, cultural and creative industries in urban …
Cosmopolitics in the Syrian Australian Diaspora
This paper, framed by debates around diasporic nationalisms, examines how the war in Syria is reconfiguring political orientations and affiliations within and beyond migrant Syrian-Australian communities. Focusing on activists involved in the Hands Off Syria movement, a response to Western involvement in conflict in the Middle East, it considers the relational and situated nature of these reconfigurations. This paper the entanglement of age, reli…
Arab, Australian, Other: Stories on Race and Identity
This book review explores contemporary first-hand accounts of Arab Australian identities and the role of race and racism in shaping personal and group identity
Race in Australia's youthful urban leisure scenes
Within the context of hyper surveillance and panic over young people's political and creative forms of participation, we draw on biographical interviews to explore how young people from socio-economically disadvantaged and migrant backgrounds of Sydney's Western suburbs participate in Slam Poetry scenes. Slam poetry is a global cultural activity, with a strong base in places like Western Sydney where young people from minority backgrounds collect…
Racialisation in the Creative Industries and the Arab-Australian Multicultural Artist
In Australia, artists of ethnic minority backgrounds are generally offered marginal spaces in which they can express themselves. They tend to be called upon by the state to act as cultural brokers or offer representations of their supposedly neatly bounded communities in the name of social inclusion [Werbner 1997. Introduction: the dialectics of cultural hybridity. In: P. Werbner and T. Modood, eds. Debating cultural hybridity: multi-cultural ide…
Corsages on their parents' jackets’: Employment and aspiration among Arabic-speaking youth in Western Sydney
Many commentators have observed that late modernity has profoundly reshaped the nature of employment such that workers have become more reflexive, mobile, individualistic and entrepreneurial, free to re-invent themselves as they choose in a world of endless possibilities. Theorists of reflexive modernity suggest that the family unit and class have been usurped by an inherent individual mobility. This article challenges this discourse of the new e…
