    Project Details

    Description

    Healthy democracies require generational renewal as norms, values and cultures evolve. This project is a systematic study of the mass mobilisation of school-age students in the climate change movement in Australia. Examining who the students are, why they participate, how they organise, how they represent themselves and are represented by others in social and mainstream media the study ethically advances ways of researching school students participation in offline and online settings. Expected outcomes include improved capacity for researching student political action, new knowledge of the motivations, norms and practices that characterise student climate politics and frameworks for democratic renewal through engagement with young people.
