Have a look through the jam-packed special July 2014 issue of The Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies on the topic of the “War on Youth,” guest edited by PhD candidates Andrew Reszitnyk, Jennifer Fisher, Tyler J. Pollard, and department alumna Danielle Martak. Featuring a series of interviews conducted by Tyler J. Pollard with prominent researchers including Henry A. Giroux, Brad Evans, Erika Shaker, and Lawrence Grossberg, this “War on Youth” special issue takes up the struggles faced by young subjects as they navigate a violent and rapidly changing global context while also interrogating possibilities for the creation of futures that are more just, sustainable, and equitable for the world’s youth. This special “War on Youth” journal issue emerged out of the energetic conversations and discussions of the “War on Youth” Summer Institute hosted by the McMaster Centre for Scholarship in the Public Interest that ran at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada from July 15th-26th 2013. Directed by Henry A. Giroux, the Summer Institute brought international scholars and students together to study how 21st century youth are growing up amidst a range of precarious conditions including ecological catastrophes; increasing levels of inequality, poverty and debt; intensifying modes of punishment, incarceration, and surveillance; swelling commercial media networks; and eviscerated health care and education systems. Included in the issue: “Introduction: Sacrificing the Future – Dispatches on the Global War on Youth” – Co-authored by Andrew Reszitnyk, Jennifer Fisher, Tyler J. Pollard, and Danielle Martak “Hardened Cultures and the War on Youth: A Conversation with Henry A. Giroux” – Interview with Henry A. Giroux by Tyler J.
