Policing participation
Recent research indicates that youth are shifting away from conventional civic and political engagement toward unconventional and digital forms outside formal political structures. This shift, driven by adult-centric policymaking, labor market precarity, and democratic instability, is increasingly constrained by surveillance and the criminalization of dissent. In European policy discourse, youth are often framed as either future resources or vuln…
The habitus of activism
Across Europe many young people are turning to activism to express their socio-political desires. Using Bourdieu’s theory of habitus, understood as a system of dispositions toward specific practices and a basis for certain modes of behaviour; this study examines young people’s perceptions of activism in three European settings. Based on thematic analysis of 83 discussion groups conducted with secondary school students in Italy, Germany, and Polan…
Navigating the Activist Techno‐Social Landscape
In recent decades, youth activism has experienced a global resurgence, playing a pivotal role in advocating for social and political change across diverse national and international contexts. Drawing on empirical data from a study of high school students in diverse Washington, DC public schools, this paper offers a unique perspective on youth engagement with activism. Findings include insights from students not identified as traditional activists…
Shaping excellence
Recent decades have witnessed increased global focus on science education policy and growing international recognition of how science capital shapes educational participation patterns, particularly regarding access to elite science programs. Israel offers a unique case study to understand the efficacy and impact of excellence programs due to its geopolitical position and reliance on human capital as a strategic resource. This research examines th…
Youth activism in schools
Australian Activists as Storytellers in Digital Spaces
As modes of activism rapidly evolve, activists—both seasoned and emerging—must increasingly navigate a hybrid terrain of both digital and non‐digital engagement. This paper draws on the personal narratives of 16 nascent activists based in Australia to explore how they develop competencies related to digital storytelling, which is critical to their activism in online spaces. Making a contribution to knowledge, our analysis captures how activists' …
Systematic literature review of school-age youth activism in post-socialist countries
The fall of the Soviet bloc brought a sense of optimism for the establishment of open and democratic civil societies; however, the transition has been inconsistent and varied across the region. Some countries have embraced Western democratic and capitalist principles while others have encountered significant political challenges and setbacks. For young people, these diverse paths of development have led to both political engagement and apathy. In…
Australian Young Women Engaging with Online Feminisms as Public Pedagogies in an Era of #Hashtag Activism
Society today remains deeply entrenched in gender inequality. Research continues to highlight how the views of girls and young women regarding feminism and gender equality are informed by families, schools, social environments and—especially in the last decade—by the activism they witness on digital platforms. The year 2017 marked an important turning point for sexual harassment activists with the rise of the #MeToo movement as a powerful example…
From Protest to Politics
This article explores how Gen Z activists in the US Southwest navigate ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ forms of political activism and how these experiences shape their political efficacy. We use participant-chosen social media posts as photo elicitation alongside serial reflection interviews to examine the motivations, behaviours and aspirations of 10 youth activists aged 17–26. Activists reported beginning their political journey through outside activis…
Street-Level Bureaucracy in health promoting schools
Navigating Normativity
In the past decade, youth activism has gained visibility in European public discourse. It has also been integrated into the UN's Sustainable Development Goals under the Global Citizenship Education framework. Nonetheless, we have only a limited understanding of young people's own perceptions of activism and its manifestations. We investigate perceptions of activism among German secondary school students, employing thematic analysis to analyze dat…
Youth, Migration, and Active Citizenship
Migration profoundly shapes the lives of young people and is a polarizing topic in public discourse globally. This article examines if and how secondary school students across six countries with significant migration connect the issue of migration with their understanding of active citizenship. Employing Thorson's concept of citizenship vocabularies, we document and analyze young people's perceptions as well as the resources, narratives, and fram…
From global integration to sovereign education
This article examines the evolution of Russian school-level education policy from 1992 to 2025 through the lens of cosmopolitan nationalism. Drawing on documentary analysis and expert interviews, we demonstrate how Russia’s engagement with international educational frameworks and standards has transformed across four distinct periods. Using the cosmopolitan nationalism framework, we trace Russia’s journey from post-Soviet integration into the glo…
Beyond the buzzwords
Through a thematic analysis of policy documents from state and federal education authorities, we explore how institutional structures and governance dynamics shape opportunities for youth engagement in Washington, DC. By examining how youth activism is framed and operationalized in policy, we ask: What does youth activism entail, and how is it defined and understood in the DC educational policy context? Our findings reveal that while references t…
Whose Voices Are Heard in the Scholarship on Activism Related to School-Aged Youth With Migrant Backgrounds? A Systematic Review
This review outlines the scholarship landscape and uncovers the nature and key characteristics of activism related to migrant school-aged youth. Employing PICOT and PRISMA protocols, 126 relevant articles published in peer-reviewed journals from 2007 to 2023 were identified. We employed a three-layered, mixed-methods analytical framework to map the scholarship and to decipher the nature of agency and the voice of activism. The review revealed tha…
A scoping review of research on school-age youth activism in global citizenship education
Global citizenship education (GCE) has become a key topic in educational discourse, especially since its inclusion in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This scoping literature review analyses 43 articles published between 2012 and 2023 on school-age youth activism within GCE literature. Articles were sourced from the EBSCO, ERIC, and WoS databases, using keywords related to youth, activism, and GCE. The review finds tha…
Educational reforms and political polarization
Purpose This study examines how political and ideological shifts shape citizenship education by analysing how school curricula reflect broader political agendas and influence young people’s civic engagement and activism.Method We conduct a content analysis comparing two Polish curricula: Historia i Teraźniejszość (HiT), introduced by a right-wing government in 2022, and Edukacja Obywatelska (EO), introduced by a centre-left government in 2025.Fin…
Collective voices making change
This literature review examines 84 peer-reviewed studies of Black youth activism in the United States, published from 2012 to 2023. Data were extracted from EBSCO, ERIC, and Web of Science using search terms related to “Black”, “youth”, and “activism”. The review identifies the disciplines where studies were published, publication trends, major theories used, types and scopes of activism studied, and the anticipated roles of Black youth in these …
Place-based education – a systematic review of literature
Place based education (PBE) is a pedagogical approach that emphasises the connection between a learning process and the physical place in which teachers and students are located. It incorporates the meanings and the experiences of place in teaching and learning, which can extend beyond the walls of the school. PBE regained significant attention with the early 2020 outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused large scale school closures globall…
The role of motility and viscosity in professional identity construction
Intersectional action in youth activism in the UK
Exploring extracurricular clubs in high schools as third spaces for developing youth activism and critical engagement
Formal school spaces are often limited in preparing youth for critical engagement and activism due to standardized curricula, constrained resources, and politicized pressures. Nonformal learning environments, specifically extracurricular clubs, remain underexplored as spaces for youth activism. This study investigates how extracurricular clubs in high schools function as third spaces for learning about social justice issues and engaging in collec…
Upper-Class Youth Activism
Youth activism in Poland
Recent years have seen a growing scholarly interest in youth activism (YA), a phenomenon often viewed as a positive development in response to declining civic and political engagement among young people. However, most of the research focuses on the activists themselves and gives less attention to how YA is perceived by the broader youth population. This article explores the shared and divergent perspectives of young activists and their peers who …
Internationalisation, teacher education and institutional identities
Teachers are under increasing pressure to promote various and many times conflicting and fluid sets of values—both global/local—cosmopolitan and national. Teachers are expected to possess meaningful skills, theoretical grounding and practical tools to effectively undertake this role. One way in which to prepare teachers for this, is through internationalisation of teacher education (IoTE). Teacher education programmes are situated within a distin…
The global citizenship education gap
Global citizenship education in context
We apply semi-structured interviews to conceptualise perceptions of global citizenship among teachers at an international school and teachers at a local public school in Israel, revealing discrepancies between theory and practice in global citizenship education (GCE). We find that teachers perceive global citizenship differently along three major axes: boundaries of global citizenship, practical aspects of GCE, and through the effect of Israel’s …
Trends and caveats
Cosmopolitan nationalism in the cases of South Korea, Israel and the U.S
In this essay we develop the concept of ‘cosmopolitan nationalism’, offering a working definition and suggesting ways sociologists of education might draw on it in their future work. We show how it is a useful analytical lens through which to examine contemporary policies and practices that navigate global processes (ranking systems, mobility of people, expectations for futures) but also take account of nationalistic tendencies, as well as local …
Neoliberalism, internationalisation and higher education
We explore the role of neoliberalism within portrayals of internationalisation in higher education (HE). Through an analysis of four features of internationalisation, we suggest that they embody a complex entanglement of neoliberal categories and assumptions with other, primarily progressive humanitarian ideals. This framing of internationalisation has three affects. One, humanitarian ideals coupled with neoliberal categories normalise inequaliti…
Israeli teachers make sense of global citizenship education in a divided society- religion, marginalisation and economic globalisation
Global citizenship education (GCE) has recently been promoted by national education systems and supranational organisations as a means for facilitating social cohesion and peace education. We examined the perceptions of GCE held by teachers from the three main education sectors in Israel: secular-Jewish, religious-Jewish, and Palestinian Arab, and found stark differences in the way teachers from each sector interpreted the term. For marginalised …
Obstacles and opportunities for global citizenship education under intractable conflict
Global citizenship education (GCE) is a global education trend that, like democratic citizenship education, has been adopted recently by many education systems for the purpose of preparing students to engage in global society. In this study we applied Qualitative Content Analysis to semi-structured interviews with Israeli teachers with the aim of shedding light on some of the barriers and opportunities to GCE in a conflict-ridden state. The main …
De-coupling or remaining closely coupled to ‘home’
This article makes an empirical contribution to the study of the global middle class (GMC), and sheds light on the complex relationships that are constructed and sustained by these families with their ‘home nation’ through their educational strategies. Drawing on an inductive analysis of 20 in-depth interviews with Israeli migrant mothers in the United Kingdom who constitute a specific fraction of the GMC, this article examines families’ identity…
Modalities of cosmopolitanism and mobility
In this study, we explore how different forms of family mobility shape parental education strategies of three middle-class groups (moored Israeli professionals, immigrants from Israel to the UK and global middle class Israeli families). By focusing on families from the same nationality, we show how different practices of mobility differentiate between these middle-class fractions. Building on Andreotti’s framework for ‘global mindedness’ we sugge…
The international, global and intercultural dimensions in schools
Many educational systems worldwide are making substantial efforts to integrate an international dimension into local schools, fostering significant changes in the processes of instruction and learning as well as transformations at pedagogical and organisational levels. In this paper, we analyse data collected in four schools in Israel that the local press and educational authorities have acknowledged as schools that prominently and comprehensivel…

How does mobility shape parental strategies – a case of the Israeli global middle class and their ‘immobile’ peers in Tel Aviv
We examined the parental strategies of global middle class (GMC) parents currently living in Israel, and compared these to their local middle class (LMC) peers. Both groups of parents were focused on securing advantages for their children through education choices and practices of cultivation. The central difference between these two groups of middle class parents was the ways in which ‘mobile-mindedness’ was conceived of, and in turn shaped the …

The plurality of the Global Middle Class(es) and their school choices–moving the ‘field’ forward empirically and theoretically
Global/local nexus
In recent decades, many countries began integrating global citizenship education (GCE) into their curricula, both in response to the needs of a diversified pupil body formed by global migrations flows and as a means to prepare pupils to compete and engage in modern globalized society. Frequently, this integration takes place alongside an increasing emphasis on local/national and nationalistic values within schools and education systems. The prese…

Mobility as a continuum
This study explores the rationale and aims of European Commission (EC) mobility programmes for schools and higher education systems, namely the Comenius and the European Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students (ERASMUS) funding schemes. Our findings indicate that the aims, rationales and means of mobility programmes for the school and higher education levels are nearly identical in terms of formal policies and prescriptions. Moreove…
Media representations of national and international standardized testing in the Israeli education system
This study applies discourse analysis to Israeli media coverage of national and international standardized examinations within Israel's public education system. Through systematic analysis of the topic in the two main Israeli financial publications between the years 2000 and 2013, we explore the nature and narrative of the media and compare the coverage of national and international standardized testing.

School principals’ agency as reflected by extracurricular activities in the Israeli education system
This study examines the nature and extent of extracurricular activities in the Palestinian Arab, Jewish Religious and Jewish Secular educational sectors (Israeli education system also includes the Ultra-Orthodox sector with its own management, monitoring and governance apparatus.) in Israel, in order to characterise the contextual variables that may affect school principals’ agency. We explored 2009 Program for International Student Assessment re…
Managing protracted displacement
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 resulted in one of the largest refugee crises in Europe since World War II. A significant number of Ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children, have sought asylum in Germany, where they have been granted temporary protection status. These refugees found themselves in a state of protracted displacement, with uncertain futures. This article examines how middle-class Ukrainian women, with children,…
The Drive to Internationalize
Mobile Nationalism
This article examines whether and how globally mobile middle-class professional families engage in practices of nationalism through forging connections with a 'home nation' despite continuous relocations for work. Drawing on the concept of boundary objects which are used to facilitate frequent boundary crossings, we identify the promotion of language acquisition and cultural or national rituals and traditions as two central family practices that …

Israeli college students’ perceptions of internationalisation
In the last two decades, higher education institutions have invested significant resources to internationalise, due to economic, political, academic and cultural pressures. Students play a dual role in this process: as customers, selecting institutions based on respective reputations (including the international dimension) and as outputs of institutional internationalisation processes aiming to produce internationally oriented graduates. Universi…

Between Arabic and French in the Israeli Education System
In the era of globalization, educational systems are forced to react and globalize through schools’ content and context. Among other 21st-century capabilities such as information technology use, team work, and entrepreneurship, multilingual competence has been placed among the objectives of education systems in many developed and developing countries (e.g., UK, Singapore, China, and Israel). We analyzed the pattern of students’ choice for advance…

The global–local negotiation
Globalisation and technological advances in the twenty-first century have caused a blurring of national lines, which in the past were the basis of a nearly indisputable model of civic identity. This process has led to a noticeable trend of the globally oriented pressures within the national curricula, on top of the existing locally oriented demands. By employing an interpretative, qualitative methodology, this study offers a multidimensional anal…

What kind of citizenship for whom? The ‘refugee crisis’ and the European Union’s conceptions of citizenship
The European Union (EU) plays a dominant role in coordinating the responses to the massive inflow of refugee-migrants into Europe; consequently, the conceptions of citizenship and future integration which are embedded in its policies are significant. We explore and analyse the key EU education policy documents that refer to immigrants to identify the forms of citizenship attributed to various types of incomers by the EU. Our analysis demonstrates…
