In a conversation about youth agency, the most common discourses
that come up are of acts of liberation, resistance, and deviance.
However, this perspective is fairly narrow and runs the risk of
reinforcing pervasive and often polarizing depictions of youth. In
order to broaden the understanding of young people's collective
actions and their potential social implications, it is necessary to
ask: What types of agency do young people demonstrate? This book
aims to scrutinize some of the conceptual ideas that underlie
prevalent visions of youth as agents of social change and as a
source of hope for a better future. As a part of the Education and
Society in South Asia series, it provides insightful accounts of
students' daily routines on and around a public university campus
in Kathmandu, Nepal, and calls attention to a group of non-elite
university students who have remained less visible in scholarly and
public debates about student activism, youth unemployment, and
international migration. By placing different strands of literature
on youth, aspiration, and mobility into conversation, In Search of
a Future unveils new and important perspectives on how young people
navigate competing social expectations, educational inequalities,
and limited job prospects. Series: ESSA this series seeks to
problematize our understanding of education, as process, in the
context of the making of citizens in a 'modern', changing South
Asia. Education has been examined in its institutional avatar ad
nauseam. Such efforts view educational institutions as
organizations that transmit and evaluate educational knowledge and
provide certification based on academic achievement. The causes of
inequality, located in gender, caste, class and religion have
perhaps been examined in this context as these shape individuals'
lives in multiple and complex ways. At the same time, educational
institutions are spaces, as processes, through which participants
bring meaning and create worlds that hugely impact their personal
and intellectual development. Other books in the Series include:
Social, Ecological and Moral Vision for Inclusive Education: J.
Krishnamurti and Educational Practice
