By exploring new assemblages of youth, technology, and governance, these wide-ranging essays offer fresh and theorized insights into contemporary young people and the politics of youth. For example, the chapters on sexting provide a review of current perspectives from sexual citizenship to pleasure to criminality. This is a smart, critical, and engaging collection.

Youth, Technology, Governance, Experience
How do adults understand youth? How do their conceptions inform interventions into young lives or involve young peoples experiences?
This volume tackles these questions by exploring adults ideas about youth. Specifically, Youth, Technology, Governance, Experience examines the four titular concepts and their implications for a range of relationships between youth and adults. Utilising interdisciplinary methods, the contributing authors deliver a broad range of analyses of young people differentiated by gender, class, race, and geography across an array of contexts, including within the home, in media representations, through government bureaucracies, and in everyday life.
Youth, Technology, Governance, Experience also interrogates the meaning of technology and governance for youth studies, considering a range of ways they interact, including through social media, technologies of regulation, and educational tools. It will appeal to students and academic researchers interested in fields such as youth studies, cultural studies, sociology, and education.

This book is dedicated to students of youth and youth culture.
This collection is largely based on papers presented at the symposium Youth and Technology: Pleasure and Governance in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney in December 2013. That symposium sought to bring together researchers from a range of fields, including cultural studies, media studies, education, policy studies, and public health. The key themes governance, technology, and pleasure provided a broad framework for discussions about interventions into young peoples lives and their responses, which is continued in this collection, with pleasure incorporated within wider examinations of experience. The editors would like to thank all the authors for their thoughtful contributions and for their patience throughout the publication process.
The symposium at which most of the chapters in this book were first presented was supported by funding from the School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry at the University of Sydney. The production of this book was supported by Australian Research Council funding for the Discovery Project Media Classification Systems: An International Comparative Study (DP150101226).
