[Commlist] CFP: From Adolescence to Adulthood: Uncovering Youths’ Digital Practices in a Continuously Changing World

Call for Papers: Special Issue of Media International Australia Journal

Topic: From Adolescence to Adulthood: Uncovering Youths’ Digital 
Practices in a Continuously Changing World

Editing team: Bruce Mutsvairo, Moa Eriksson Krutrök and Tanja Bosch

The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, and so are the ways in which 
young adults engage with technology. Yet, research on how youth, 
especially young adults, navigate and experience digital platforms 
remains limited. We’re looking for both theoretical and empirical papers 
that explore this gap and provide insights into how young people 
interact with technology, the consequences of these interactions, and 
the unique challenges they face.

Topics include:

- Which social media platforms do youth engage with and why?

- How are young adults using digital platforms for social, political, 
and economic change?

- What role does social media play in shaping youth identity and mental 
health?

- How do youth from diverse cultural contexts experience online and 
offline life?

- What digital skills are necessary for meaningful online participation?

Submission Deadline: July 31, 2025
