*Conceptualising Youth Mobilities amidst Social Challenges *will bring 
together researchers with an interest in youth mobilities, from across 
the social sciences, for a one-day workshop. This workshop will be held 
on *Monday, 28 November 2022,* at Deakin University and online on Zoom.

The workshop welcomes all researchers who wish to share their 
scholarships and participate in discussions around youth mobilities. It 
seeks to provide an opportunity for attendees to build networks and 
connect with like-minded researchers at all stages of their careers, 
including early career and postgraduate. We seek to support research 
that has a connection to Australia. However, we also recognise that as 
youth mobilities research, this may likely include connections to places 
overseas.

We invite presentations that examine transnational youth mobilities 
amidst the social challenges of our contemporary world. What is the role 
of mobility in young people’s negotiation of social challenges? How 
might emerging forms of mobility (re)shape perceptions of adulthood and 
aspirations for youth transitions? How do young people construct 
belonging and place in a mobile world?

The theme of Social Challenges is particularly timely considering the 
growing knowledge of the challenges that young people face as society 
emerges from COVID-19 associated lockdowns; grappling with, in many 
cases, pre-existing issues including mental health, employment, racism 
and inequality, among others.

We invite submissions focusing especially on youth mobilities. However, 
other topics we may consider are:

  * Youth transitions

  * Youth futures and aspirations
  * Belonging
  * Transnational ties
  * Covid-19 and youth

Traditional academic papers and alternative presentations (e.g. creative 
readings, collective presentations, posters, etc.) are welcome. Please 
submit 200-word abstracts and 100-word bios via the Google Form 
<https://forms.gle/3oMUsN1jHXGhWraz6>(https://forms.gle/K9ZBdK2TdH4BJyRD6 <https://forms.gle/K9ZBdK2TdH4BJyRD6>) 
by *5pm (AEST) on 31 July* *2022*.
