Young People at a Crossroads: Negotiations of Environmental Knowledges, Practices and Subjectivities in Immigrant Homes at a Time of Climate Crisis, 2021-2022

This research aimed to explore migrant-background young people's responses to climate change education and the conversations taking place between generations about climate change in families where there was a recent history of migration. The research was conducted primarily with 14-18-year-old young people with family migration backgrounds living in Manchester or Melbourne, and secondarily with parents or grandparents of the young participants, and with teachers with an interest in climate change education in Manchester or Melbourne. Data were generated through interviews and focus groups, and include a sub-set of interviews conducted by young people with their parents or grandparents. Young people who took part in the research were first, second and third generation migrants. The collection includes transcripts of: - 18 initial interviews with young people (usually conducted in pairs) - 9 focus groups with young people - 9 young researcher-led interviews with a parent - 10 debrief interviews with young researchers and parents - 14 interviews with educators - 7 images used in focus group activities with young people Non-identifying information about all participants who agreed for their data to be archived is included in the 'YPAC participant overview' document included in the collection folder.
