-Taking an intersectional approach, Miranda Campbell offers
international case studies that map both the systemic barriers that
youth face and the responses that they are creating to these
systemic barriers. -Driven by finding new frames to understand
caring and community-oriented forms of labor spearheaded by young
people, the book forwards an analysis of broader economic, social,
and political conditions that underlie youth experiences, and
highlights their responses and work to create more inclusive
cultures and economies, based in caring values. -A robust,
forward-looking conclusion draws together contemporary initiatives
that are gaining momentum as possible routes out of the economic
decline facing youth worldwide, including Universal Basic Income
(UBI), paid entry-level internships for skills development,
youth-specific spaces, and access to small-scale seed funding for
youth-led projects.

Creative Industries in Canada is a foundational text that
encourages students to think critically about creative industries
within a Canadian context and interrogate the current state and
future possibilities of the industry. While much of current
creative industries literature concerns the United Kingdom, the
United States, and Asia, this text captures the breadth of how
Canadian industries are organized and experienced, and how they
operate.This ambitious collection aims to guide students through
the current landscape of Canadian creative industries through three
thematic sections. "Production" collects chapters focused on how
national discourses and identities are produced through creative
industries and the tensions that exist between policy and media.
"Participation" explores how we engage with these industries in
different roles: as consumer, creator, policy-maker, and more.
"Pedagogies" explores how education impacts inclusion and
visibility in creative industries. Truly intersectional, Creative
Industries in Canada provides students with practical industry
knowledge and frameworks to explore the current state of the field
and its future. With a broad application to many undergraduate
programs, this text is a must-read resource for those pursuing
media studies, arts management, creative and cultural industries
studies, communications, and arts and humanities.
Our contemporary moment is rife with injustices and crises:
environmental disasters, climate change, racial divides, political
divides, sexual misconduct, and high unemployment and debt rates,
amongst other urgent challenges. While it is important to recognize
these problems and call for change, we can also learn from caring
initiatives that foster new ways of living, based in relationality,
respect, and mutual support. How to Care More offers a definition
of care based in relational action, highlighting care as an
umbrella concept that can catalyze personal and social change. Each
chapter provides an overview of one skill to practice caring more,
including listening, consent, collaboration, and cultivating
inclusion, love, and resilience that will enhance personal
wellbeing and relationships with others, in our families,
workplaces, and communities. With definitions of key terms and
hands-on activities, How to Care More offers thought-provoking
discussion and powerful examples of small-scale action and
community building that can have a big impact, empowering readers
to work towards positive social change.
