DESCRIPTION:In the Lent and Easter terms of this academic year (2009-2010)
  Maria Nikolajeva and Mary Hilton will be holding an interdisciplinary dis
 cussion group on teenage life. We hope to draw out in-depth discussion on 
 the ways that the second decade of life is characterised by physical chang
 es to the body and brain\, the differential nature of teenage experience\,
  and the wide-ranging ways experience and existence is represented and ena
 cted in Young Adult fictions\, in theatre\, school\, home and politics. Ou
 r overall ground plan is very capacious at this stage as we are hoping to 
 involve a range of members of the faculty with a view to feeding ideas int
 o the forth-coming Faculty conference The Emergent Adult (September 3-5\, 
 2010). The discussion group will be held throughout Lent and Easter terms 
 on every third Monday late afternoon 5- 6.30pm starting Monday 18th Januar
 y. Each session will be led by a discussant who will address a key reading
  which will be circulated beforehand to participants. This might be an imp
 ortant article or chapter that has informed or changed the discussant's ou
 tlook or work in progress by the discussant.\nTHEMES:\nYouth Cultures\nRep
 resentations of teenage existence\, theatre and enactments\nAgency (in tex
 ts and in life)\nThe body\, the brain and mind - growth and change\nThe fa
 mily - ambiguous status as young adult\nSchool\, work and daily grind\n
