This book explores the affective and relational lives of young people in
diverse urban spaces. By following the trajectories of diverse young
people as they creatively work through multiple and unfolding global
crises, it asks how arts-based methodologies might answer the question:
How do we stand in relation to others, those nearby and those at great
distances?
The research draws on knowledges, research traditions, and artistic
practices that span the Global North and Global South, including Athens
(Greece), Coventry (England), Lucknow (India), Tainan (Taiwan), and
Toronto (Canada) and curates a way of thinking about global research
that departs from the comparative model and moves towards a new analytic
model of thinking multiple research sites alongside one another as an
approach to sustaining dialogue between local contexts and wider global
concerns.
