Generations, transitions, and social change
Bristol University Press has launched an exciting new series for new work in generational studies. The field has emerged from a growing interest in the concept of generation across a range of disciplines, as scholars and researchers seek to understand social, economic and political trends distinctive to the 21st century in both the Global North and Global South.
The series’ primary focus is on books that move forward scholarship and research within sociology, social policy, cultural studies, memory studies, anthropology and demography. The editors welcome proposals on relevant topics, including (but not limited to):
- education, intergenerational dialogue and the construction of knowledge;
- the implication of demographic trends in global fertility rates, ageing and migration;
- family change and intergenerational solidarity;
- gender relations and gender roles across generations;
- generational differences in the experience of work and relations between younger and older workers;
- inequalities across generations;
- generational differences and convergences in moral, political and religious attitudes and values;
- the intersection of generation, gender, migration and culture in narratives of identity and belonging;
- the differential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic within and between generations in the Global North and Global South;
- generations and the future.
