Bře 152025
 

Dear academic community and public,

on March 31st at our IRDE, we are going to host Prof. Miri Yemini from Israel, who is a holder of an ERC Consolidator Grant, a highly prestigious funding award. Her research project, STUDACT, is well summarized in this short video: https://youtu.be/BL4Pb62k7wc.

What makes her research particularly interesting is that it is a comparative study based primarily on qualitative data and theoretical frameworks. She will give a lecture at the faculty on Monday, March 31st, from 2.45 pm to 4.15 pm in the room M006 (Charles University, Faculty of Education, Myslíkova 7, Prague 1).

Youth, Migration, and Activism: Understanding Youth Citizenship Vocabularies
Miri Yemini
Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Faculty of Education in Science and Technology, Haifa, 3200003, Israel
Abstract: Migration profoundly shapes the lives of young people and is a polarising and contentious topic in contemporary public discourse. In this seminar I show how Generation Z young people in six countries understand both migration and activist efforts related to migration issues. Employing Thorson’s (2012) concept of ‚citizenship vocabularies,‘ I document and analyse young people’s perceptions of activism in relation to migration, as well as the resources, narratives, and frameworks they use to make sense of migration, citizenship, and civic life, to contribute to debates around youth activism, citizenship education, and migration. The study adds depth to our understanding of the development of a disposition towards activism within young people, and how the current generation of youth engage with polarising social issues.

Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

Best regards,

David Greger
IRDE director
