5 September 2014, Liverpool John Moores University
This symposium will explore the role of ‘space’ in youth cultures, both urban and domestic, with a particular focus on under-examined private and semi-private spaces such as bedrooms, virtual chat rooms and social network sites and young people’s participation in them. The symposium will examine the ways in which private and semi-private spaces interconnect with one another and different public space and will trace trajectories through – and between – the multiple spaces that forge cultural, social and political identities.
Confirmed speakers include Michael Bull (University of Sussex), Robert MacDonald (Teeside University), Tracy Shildrick (Leeds University), Brady Robards (University of Tasmania), Iain Aitch, Rupa Huq (Kingston University), Joanne Neary (University of Glasgow) and Sian Lincoln (Liverpool John Moores University).
