A Political Economy Approach to the Study of Youth:
Lessons for Researchers in the Global South
Lecture by Mayssoun Sukarieh (King's College, London) as part of the ZMO-Colloquium The Idea of Youth: Concepts, Practices and Lifeworlds of a Global Category
Youth studies as a field has been dominated by culturalist and empiricist accounts; invocations of youth by policy-makers, media commentators and academic researchers in other fields have often taken youth as a self-evident and taken-for-granted social category and identity. In this talk, Mayssoun Sukarieh sketches out what is meant by a political-economy-approach to the study of youth.

Launch of the CECG-Sourcebook
For a period of three years (2013-16), the collaborative research project Cultural Exchange in a Time of Global Conflict: Colonials, Neutrals and Belligerents during the First World War, funded by HERA (Humanities in European Research Area), explored actors, practices and sites of encounters and exchange during the war. The CECG-Sourcebook is one of the major outcomes of the project carried out by research teams in London, Poznan, Utrecht and Berlin in cooperation with a wide range of cooperation partners. It aims to introduce scholars and the interested public to rare or unknown sources and stimulate further research and thinking on the subject of cultural encounters. The sourcebook is hosted by the In Flanders Field Museum. This museum was one of the ‘associated partners’ of this research project and equally contributed to the sourcebook.
