Sustaining the old world, or imagining a new one? The transformative literacies of the climate strikes
In this article, we consider the climate strikes in the context of intergenerational narratives that de/limit young people’s political subjectivities and imaginaries concerning climate change. Considering the strikes alongside other youth-led responses to the crisis, we reconsider the question of young people’s climate change ‘literacy’ and posit that young people’s literacies are characteristically transformative. Despite their broadly transform…
In it together! Cultivating space for intergenerational dialogue, empathy and hope in a climate of uncertainty
The urgent and interlocking social, economic and ecological crises faced by societies around the world require dialogue, empathy and above all, hope that transcends social divides. At a time of uncertainty and crisis, many societies are divided, with distrust and divides exacerbated by media representations pitting different groups against one another. Acknowledging intersectional interrelationships, this collaborative paper considers one type of…

Peace, Protest and Precarity
The current young generation are living through socio-historically situated intersecting crises, including precarity and climate change. In these times of crisis, young people are also bearing witness to a distinctive global wave of youth-led activism involving protest actions. Much of this activism can be deemed dissent because many young activists are calling for systemic change, including the radical disruption, reimagining and rebuilding of t…
Missing an Opportunity? The Limited Civic Imagination of Votes at 16
The debate over reform to the voting age at Westminster elections is dominated by a concept of young people as deficient and disengaged citizens. In the contemporary context of young civic action, new approaches to the civic can support a regeneration of the vote in young people’s expanded political toolbox. A conceptual approach to the debate on voting reform is presented alongside a critical appraisal of the opportunities available, to all side…

Young people’s everyday lives are not just social and cultural environments, but also political arenas (Kallio and Häkli. 2011 Kallio, K. P., and J. Häkli. 2011. “Are There Politics in Childhood?” Space and Polity 15 (1): 21–34.[Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]. ‘Are there politics in childhood?’ (Space & Polity 15 (1): 21–34, 2). A methodological approach is proposed that emphasizes young people’s knowledge, while accepting the power …
We Are Radical In Our Kindness
The year 2018 was a watershed in environmental activism, especially regarding young activists. Greta Thunberg started her School Strikes for Climate and the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion was founded. This article deals with young people's involvement in these two global movements. It draws on 60 semi-structured interviews carried out with young environmental activists before, during and after protest actions under the auspices of th…
Imagining future worlds alongside young climate activists
Young people’s climate activism must stand as one of the most remarkable and important mass movements of our age. At levels of organization from the local to the global, young climate activists are coming together in massive mobilizations, and particularly school strikes, under the names of Fridays For Future, #FridaysForFuture, Youth for Climate, Youth Strike for (or 4) Climate and School Strike for (or 4) Climate. This article responds to the m…
Is Updating the WMA Physician's Pledge Enough
Changes made in 2017 to the World Medical Association Physician's Pledge strive to keep in step with geopolitical trends by addressing respect for patients' dignity and autonomy and respect among colleagues. Health professions students should continue to proactively insist on patient care, research, and advocacy efforts that uphold human rights and the principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and respect for autonomy regardless of a pa…

Young rioters and imagined revolution in the British Utopia of Calm
Were the English riots of 2011 a revolution? Michael Hardt called the revolution in established democracies ‘a process that not only destroys habits of servitude and develops capacities for self-rule but also inspires people's political imagination and expands their desires, which can press far beyond the present political situation’ (Hardt, 2009, p. 139). In this contribution to the special issue on revolution, the results of a critical discours…
Predictors of injury among adult recreational in-line skaters

Skaters with greater skating experience were more likely to perform tricks, wear less safety gear, and sustain an injury. CONCLUSIO…
