Futures in Flux: How Young People Navigate an Uncertain World
Tue, August 11, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
In an era of profound uncertainty—spanning politics, climate, technology, the economy and more—how do young people make sense of their future? This session moves beyond documenting youth anxiety to explore their active navigation and response. We seek papers that illuminate the strategies, big and small, that young people employ to cope with, challenge, and shape the world around them. We invite submissions exploring how today's youth find agency, build community, and forge new paths forward in the face of an unpredictable future.
