Youth & culture

An interesting link I came across recently which explores the issue of boys underachievement at GCSE in more depth. There is a chapter you can download, along with a presentation, both of which contain useful information that could be adapted for use with sixth-former, or potentially GCSE students.

Interesting and baldly stated article about reasons for underachievement by black boys. A good starting point for a lesson.

Subcultures

Looks like a good programme from Laurie Taylor on subcultures. Work on women and heavy metal from a researcher at York University and pop fandom from a Texan student who has relocated and conducted her research from the sunny climes of University of Sunderland. Expert comment from Angela McRobbie.

Risk and Resilience in Nottingham

Wednesday, June 16, 2010

by David Abbott

Well, I bet it’s Notttingham or maybe somewhere nearby like Derby. Most interesting guest this week on Laurie Taylor’s show is Kaye Haw from Nottingham University. Unfortunately there is only a link to an abstract of her article on young people, but it looks like one to check out. A job for me when the marking season is over perhaps. And I’ve caught up on a few other resource productions.
