Hello everyone,

We are getting in touch to share a few updates with you, which you will find below: 

REMINDER: JOIN OUR FIRST CATCH UP & WRITE SESSION NEXT MONDAY 25 MAY, 12-2PM
We already have a lovely group of colleagues registered and looking forward to an afternoon of focused writing, conversation, and connection. Catch Up & Write is designed as a structured yet relaxed space to work alongside others, share ideas, and make progress on your writing in good company. There's still time to register!

Session details:

 - Date: Monday 25 May 2026
 - Time: 12:00pm–2:00pm (bring your lunch!)
 - Location: Online via Zoom
 - Registration: Register to receive the Zoom link here: https://unimelb.zoom.us/meeting/register/h6RNuzchTla1GOBkrGTCuw


WE ARE NOW ON LINKEDIN!
We are excited to officially launch the LinkedIn page for the TASA Sociology of Youth Thematic Group. This space will help us share research, events, opportunities, news, and showcase the work of our members while building connections across those working in, or interested in, the sociology of youth. Please give us a follow and share amongst your networks!


SEEKING TEXTBOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
We are supporting a colleague who is redesigning a Level 2 sociology unit on youth identities at an Australian university and is seeking recommendations for a suitable core textbook — ideally published post-2020. It would be great to receive any suggestions from members of the group:
   - Are there more recent textbooks you would recommend?
   - Do you have any strong preferences or experiences with the texts above?

 

Please email your suggestions to Dorinda at: Dorinda.thart@murdoch.edu.au

 

 

That is all for now – have a great week and hopefully see you next Monday at our writing session!

Best wishes,

Imogen, Julia, Natalie, Maddison and John
