SOC530: Australian Youth Culture

On the one hand youth is often presented as a period of storm and stress or a time of crisis. On the other hand youth culture is often something many seek out, envy, and desire. This unit will acquaint students with Australian and international literature concerned with the study of youth. Students will be introduced to the history of youth, major theoretical traditions on youth culture and the various media, policy and professional responses to youth needs and interests.
