Welcome to UP2YOUTH: Youth - actor of social change

This conference deals with the issue of imagery of young parenthood, a topic identified as clearly under-researched by the thematic group “Young Parenthood”: The conference relates the various representations of fathers and mothers in the media to every day practices of young fathers and mothers. Its aim is to work out the ambivalences, varieties and dynamics as well as the resilience in parental behaviour with regard to social background, gender, ethnicity and sexual preferences, and to establish a productive dialogue between different disciplines in the field: cultural studies, media and social sciences.
