Te Pokapū Pāhekoheko Hapori | UC Community Engagement Hub are hosting a Zoom presentation on youth politics and citizenship.
Several youth acts of citizenship have drawn global attention to diverse forms of emerging youth politics. This is most clearly exemplified by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg and her ‘School Strikes 4 Climate’ global movement. Such examples of youth politics illustrate just the tip of the iceberg of how young people today are increasingly becoming active and activist citizens in their everyday lives (Isin, 2008). Yet not all of today’s emerging youth politics are formal, public and ‘loud’; they can be imaginations and take place as quiet acts of politics in their everyday lives (Askins, 2015). This presentation will critically analyse young people’s everyday experiences with citizenship using critical theory and a feminist ethic of care. This will be achieved by examining data from a study that explored the citizenship imaginations and quiet politics of the everyday of young Singaporeans using a photovoice methodology.

This dynamic flute/guitar duo featuring New Zealand flutist Hannah Darroch and Canadian guitarist Steve Cowan have just toured for Chamber Music New Zealand, taking audiences on a sonic tour of the Americas: the music of Argentina (Piazzolla and Golijov), the United States (Appalachian folk songs by Robert Beaser, and works by Joan Tower and Katherine Hoover), and the folk songs of Steve's native Newfoundland by Canadian composer Jason Noble. They bring some of this programme to New Music Central, paired with other new music, and results from Steve's work with UC composition students.
