Over a period of 16 weeks, approximately 30 reading assignments, numerous lectures, and countless hours spent outside of class working on Wikipedia, I I now have an idea of ​​what global youth represents. The studies are. Although as a class we have just discovered the intellectual tip of the iceberg that is global youth studies, there is still much to learn, discuss, collect data, and research. Granted, I'm only an undergraduate, so I feel like I've added a new perspective to global youth studies. My background as a double major in Environmental Science and Anthropology/Sociology and minor in History influences the way I see the world, in which I try to view topics and issues as holistic within this world deeply interconnected and intertwined. My view was most consistent with the theoretical frameworks of Woodman and Wyn, Jeffery Arnett, and Lorena Garcia; however, I feel like the topics presented in their work seem disjointed from each other. Therefore, my intellectual interest in global youth studies is holistic; time and place drive linear or non-linear transitions which then further influence an individual's ability to integrate action within contexts of intersectionality. To demonstrate my intellectual interest in the growing and evolving field of global youth studies, I will review the readings that guided my thought process throughout the course. Woodman and Wyn focus on the relationship between young people and their experiences across time and place. his book, Youth and generation: rethinking change and inequalities in the lives of young people. Woodman and Wyn find that the conditions and time frames associated with youth have become more fragmented into multiple and unpredictable tasks, in part...... middle of article ...... single social location. The agency a young person is able to take in the face of structural forces influences whether their transition to adulthood will be linear or non-linear. The structure of this course (each week a new topic was covered, rather than a holistic presentation of youth) implies that young people's experiences are separate rather than interconnected. The future of global youth studies must begin with understanding young people's experiences holistically. I hope that in ten years, global youth studies will begin to view and understand the experiences of young people as interconnected. Furthermore, we hope that using a holistic perspective of youth will better guide policies. The benefits of viewing youth from a holistic perspective include a historically accurate and holistic perspective of youth experiences, which is an act of dismantling systemic bias..
