SSCI 2025U – Youth Cultures


This course provides an introduction to the complexities of Youth Culture in modern societies. Learners will explore a diverse range of themes including changes that have occurred between past and contemporary subcultures, how youth identities have been constructed in relation to mass media, the arts, society, politics, consumerism; and the intersections between youth culture and commodification as expressed in music, fashion and technology. Current social issues such as multiculturalism, sexuality, drugs and the rise of gun culture will also be examined. There will be opportunities for students to contrast and compare their own experiences with those of other youth. Lectures will be supported with guest speakers and media resources.
