"Becoming adult in another man's land" (2017)

"Becoming adult in another man's land" (2017) – The everyday lives of unaccompanied young people coming of age in Europe. Roundtable discussion with Jennifer Allsop, Habib Rezaie & Nando Sigona. ESRC project "Becoming Adult: conceptions of futures and wellbeing among migrant young people in the UK" https://becomingadult.net

This is the third event in SHOOTING STEREOTYPES which is a series of three encounters that bring together scholars, migrants, art producers, activists and local stakeholders to discuss the practical, theoretical and ethical implications of employing audio-visual collaborative methodologies in research with young people, especially migrants.

These encounters include the screening of research-based short movies starring young research participants and roundtable discussions with their authors, actors and the researchers involved in their production.

During these sessions, we would like to address questions such as what can be the use of film-making in research with young people on the move? How can we make collaborative audio-visual research work? What problems do these research approaches pose for researchers, participants, and the audience?

SHOOTING STEREOTYPES is part of the seminar series of the Institute for Research into Superdiversity (IRiS) and is organised in collaboration with Centrala. For further information, please contact Stefano Piemontese ([email protected]) .
