Violence, Suffering and Subversion: Notes From a Qualitative Study About Schooling Trajectories of Brazilian Young Homosexuals
The objective of this article was to analyze the schooling trajectories of young homosexuals, as well as to verify situations that caused psychological distress in formal education environments. Three men who self-identified as homosexual participated in the research. Semi-structured, reflexive and group interviews were used as data collection methods and data were analyzed through Thematic Analysis. The participants' accounts revealed four key t…
Understanding the Pathways to Resilience: Voices from Chinese Adolescents
Drawing on social ecological resilience frameworks, this study added adolescents’ voices to explore how they achieve academic and behavioural competencies despite being in high-risk environments in a Chinese context. Thirty-one 11th grade resilient students (12 male and 19 female) based on the previous quantitative results were interviewed. Results showed that the key people in the lives of resilient individuals are located in the micro-system of…
Valued outcomes in the counter-spaces of alternative education programs: Success but on Whose Scale
For marginalised young people, alternative education settings-referred to here as flexible learning programs (FLPs)-are thought to provide a powerful 'counter-space' to damaging experiences of mainstream schooling. Such programs are inherently contradictory, with potential to also reproduce stigma and disadvantage. The provision of secondary schooling via FLPs is significant. In Australia, for example, the sector serves over 70,000 students. A be…
Resilience processes within the school context of adolescents with sexual violence history
This study examines the school context of adolescents with a sexual violence history, highlighting their perceptions of protective and vulnerability mechanisms within a social ecological resilience framework. The study was conducted in a youth service agency located in a mid-sized city in the inner of Sao Paulo state. Initially, 31 male and female adolescents victims of sexual violence, aged 12-18, answered survey items assessing resilience proce…

Responsibilised Resilience? Reworking Neoliberal Social Policy Texts
Introduction This essay begins with the premise that resilience, broadly defined as positive adaptation despite adversity (Garmezy and Rutter), and resilience building are important concepts and practices for social policy because they are concerned with the quality of people's lives forged within conditions of marginalisation and disadvantage. Although it will focus on trends in contemporary neoliberal policies and practices, it builds on the tr…
A Political Ecology of Youth and Crime
This book explores young people's 'nested' and 'political' ecological relationships with crime through an empirical investigation of the important 'places' and 'spaces' in young people's lives; in the
Managing everyday life: The conceptualisation and value of cultural capital in navigating everyday life for working-class youth
This article draws upon Bourdieu's concept of ‘cultural capital’ to examine how working-class young people negotiate and navigate everyday life in their neighbourhoods. Young people's relationship with cultural capital has traditionally been conceptualised by its value in the formal institutional setting (i.e. schools); being ‘owned’ and ‘used’ by parents or professional workers such as teachers to advantage (or disadvantage) certain groups; or b…
Understanding ‘Marginal’ Perspectives: Towards a Social Theory of Resilience
This article contributes to a social theory of resilience. It critiques aspects of developmental and individual-level analyses in the resilience literature, arguing for the significance of social identities and collective experience to resilience. Drawing on a study of the experiences of young people from an inner-city public housing estate in Sydney, key themes of the young people’s accounts engage with both classic and constructivist perspectiv…
Dealing With Disadvantage: Resilience and the Social Capital of Young People's Networks
This article analyzes how peer and extended networks provide young people with support and resources for dealing with disadvantage. Centering girls' accounts of growing up in the Glebe public housing estate, the difficulties they face, their critiques and aspirations are interpreted as resilience, supported by the social capital of their networks. However, the girls' accounts also explicate youth resistances to school and inevitable trouble throu…
Resistance, Resilience and Social Identities: Reframing ‘Problem Youth’ and the Problem of Schooling
This paper explores the experiences of young people on a public housing estate in inner-city Sydney. Their relations to schooling, truancy and participation in the illicit activities of the local youth network are framed as resistances, as necessary identity work, given the context of their marginalisation. In their explication of the dynamics of schooling, the network and the neighbourhood, young people claim the margins, as an alternative ‘cent…
Changes and Exchanges in Marginal Youth Transitions
While some groups of young people may negotiate successful transitions to work, others are unable or unlikely to do so. The concept of ‘fair exchange’ is pertinent to understanding youth transitions in their formative stages through educational experiences. Patterns of disrupted education challenge the education–work nexus not only because failure in education may limit labour market competitiveness but because the perceived false promises of edu…
