Wednesday 22nd May 2013, 5.30-7pm, Room GCG-08
The seventh lecture in the Jean Monnet Lecture Series: Border Crossings, Moving Borders,will look at 'Young people's constructions of identities in Slovenia'.
Slovenia was established as a state in June 1991 when it was the first state to split from Yugoslavia, and joined the European Union in 2004. One of the more affluent of the new members, but with a population of about two million, the young people in the study comprise a generation born into major changes, and have developed their ideas of their identity in greatly different circumstances to their parents and grandparents. Based on focus groups in Slovenia, the research included a wide variety of young people, including those from the Roma minority.
