>At the end of the first decade of the 21st 
>Century, in the context of rapid technological 
>change and extensive economic and social 
>uncertainty, the lives and identities of young 
>people continue to be the subject of a broad 
>range of scholarship which is as stimulating as 
>it is important. Yet such scholarship often has 
>fallen fairly clearly within discrete and 
>established traditions of youth research, such 
>as 'youth transitions' and 'youth cultures', 
>with only occasional dialogue between these.

>Building on the theme of the recent 
>international Youth 2010: Identities, 
>Transitions and Cultures conference (University 
>of Surrey 2010), this proposed special issue of 
>the Journal of Sociology (JoS) will aim 
>specifically to consider how the relationship 
>between identities, transitions and cultures 
>might be understood more integrally and 
>inter-changeably, thus entering into a dialogue 
>that has remained relatively under-explored in 
>youth studies to date. Our aim is to attract 
>papers which in some way address the interplay 
>of identities, transitions and cultures in local 
>and/or global contexts and which build on a 
>'global' sociology of youth. We therefore seek 
>papers in any of the following broad areas that somehow address this interplay:
