Adaptation ; Foreigner ; Glasgow ; Scotland ; Social geography ; Societal relations ; United Kingdom ; Young people
This article draws upon qualitative research with young Sikh men growing up in urban Scotland to explore the complex strategies enacted by these young men in responding to being placed in the position of the stranger. The strategies employed
by the young men include educating others, managing multicultural intimacies, affiliating with the Scottish nation, and travelling far to socialise with friends. Overall, this paper offers a relational, embodied, and emotional set of insights into young Sikh
men’s strategies for managing being cast as strangers and demonstrates the agency and creativity of the young men in doing so.

The housing pathways of young people in the UK

The housing pathways of young people in the UK
Housing ; Private sector ; United Kingdom ; Young people
The authors examine the housing pathways of young people in the UK in the years 1999 to 2008, and consider the changing nature of these pathways in the run up to 2020. They employ a highly innovative methodology, which begins with the identification
and description of key drivers likely to affect young people’s housing circumstances in the future. The authors describe how the interactions between the meanings, perceptions, and aspirations of young people, and the opportunities and constraints imposed
by the drivers, are having a major impact on young people’s housing pathways, resulting in considerable housing policy challenges, particularly in relation to the private rented sector.

Political and social divisions over climate change among young Queenslanders
Attitude ; Australia ; Climatic change ; Climatic warming ; Environment ; Political geography ; Political party ; Queensland ; Young people
This article examines the political and social divisions over climate change among young Queenslanders. Firstly, it shows that parental education has an important influence upon the development of environmental attitudes among young people
, with the children of tertiary-educated parents much more likely than others to be concerned about planetary warming. Secondly, that a strong gender divide is also apparent, with young women consistently more concerned about ‘the environment’ than young men
are. Political party identification has an important influence upon environmental concerns even among these 16–17-year olds, with young conservative party identifiers far less likely than Greens or Labor identifiers to believe that global warming will pose

Transnational citizenship, dissent and the political geographies of youth

Afghanistan ; Citizenship ; Human rights ; Identity ; Iraq ; Political geography ; Social geography ; Terrorism ; United Kingdom ; War ; Young people
This paper brings a relational perspective to studies of citizenship beyond national borders. Analysing the responses of 16 to 19-year-old young people in Bradford (UK) to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, it demonstrates the complex entanglements
of young people’s lives with international politics and develop a relational conceptualisation of citizenship. It shows that youth citizenship across and beyond national borders evolves from specific lines of connection and disconnection that are actualised
and modified inperformances of citizenship identities, giving rise to diverse political positions and dissent, both with the state and between young people. We conclude with some suggestions for translating these ideas into youth citizenship practices.
