"This dynamic Handbook offers state-of-the-art analysis of the new generation of youth activists who are demanding change. Bringing together eminent scholars, rising academic stars and youth activists, this Handbook provides a unique and essential insight into the power of youth activism today. Jerusha Conner deftly brings together contributors from the global north and south who explore youth activism through a range of multidisciplinary methods including systematic literature reviews, ethnographic studies, photo-voice exhibits and first-hand narrative accounts. Chapters cover the nature of youth activism in different geopolitical contexts, the invisible labour of youth activism, and the effects of youth activism on youth, their institutions, and societies. Presenting findings from cutting-edge research, this Handbook highlights how youth activists are sparking important conversations about what is right and what must change in their institutions, nation-states, and the world in order to secure a just and viable future for themselves and others. An authoritative analysis of the field, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for academics, students and researchers specialising in politics and public policy, sociology and social policy, education policy and the sociology of youth and childhood. It will also be of interest to youth activists and their allies to better understand, assess, and improve their movements' efficacy"--

Randa Abdel-Fattah's compelling work reminds us that the way the global War on Terror has been prosecuted lands like blows across the backs of Muslim communities - it is in the everyday, the mundane, but also in the structures of state. The book should be praised for its depth and breadth of insights into Australia, as we see contemporary Islamophobia in the shade of the War on Terror revealed.' - Dr Asim Qureshi, Research Director, CAGE (UK) and author of A Virtue of Disobedience 'This book is a dissection of the production of Australia's Islamophobic culture in the wake of 9/11. It examines it as a disciplining technique deployed by government, operating in the schools and throughout society, and it examines it as it is lived by the youth subjected to it.--

Candid and compelling, each leader shares personal stories, insights and ideas, showing us that women lead differently and that this difference is sorely needed in our world today.

This case study is an example of transformative mixed-methods research in action. In 2016, I began the methodological journey for my PhD to explore social entrepreneurship as a peacebuilding tool to address structural violence and enhance youth participation in elections and socio-economic processes. In this case study, I discuss my research process beginning with the choices of methodologies and methods and how they guided me in answering my research question. I bring readers into the research process, including designing the data collection phases, how I blended mixed-methods research with action research, gaining access, ethical considerations and challenges encountered, and how I dealt with them. As a pedagogical tool, this case will help other researchers and students learn how to carry out an action research project related to youth participation, choose and use methods, recognize challenges, and develop solutions as they design and carry out their projects within the community.

Whoever said that Christians had to be meek and mild hadn't met Félix Kir - parish priest, French resistance hero and inventor of the Kir Royale. And they probably weren't thinking of Archbishop Damaskinos who, when threatened with the firing squad by the Nazis, replied, 'Please respect our traditions - in Greece we hang our archbishops.' Whether pushing down country roads atop a tank or taking a bullet for an innocent schoolgirl, these fifteen extraordinary people were willing to give their lives to fight for the world they believed in. Wherever fascism has taken root, it has met with resistance. From wartime Athens to sixties Alabama, Vichy France to military dictatorship in Brazil, these are the priests who dared to speak out (and act out) against those who would persuade us that hate is stronger than love. --
