CGS Brown Bag L ecture Series

Kai Schafft & Renata Horvatek, Penn State

How have rural youth in Central Europe and other transitional reg ions of the world responded to recent socioeconomic, demographic, and po litical shifts? What are young peoples’ attitudes toward their rur al roots, family, and tradition? What are the spatial, social, family, e ducational and institutional factors that shape rural youth aspirations for future residence, career, and occupation? How do schools and communi ties support young people as they develop plans for adult lives, and wha t are the implications for educational and community-level practice? How do these processes differ regionally, and how might regional economies affect youth decision-making? How do these identities shape rural youth aspirations for the future, their attachment to their home communities, and the ways in which social and political exclusions and inclusions are reinforced, challenged, and/or reconfigured? This talk will discuss an ongoing collaboration to address these questions with researchers from t he University of Split in Croatia, as well as with other scholars and re searchers in surrounding countries who have joined together in the effor t to compile an edited volume.
