{"title":"On the Future of Youth Work with Young Women","authors":"J. Batsleer, Karen Mccarthy","doi":"10.1163/9789004396555_011","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004396555_011","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter will explore the potential future meanings of being woman not as secondary to men, nor as the ‘other’ of men, but through a lens of ‘difference’ and embodiment. It will explore the future of community based youth work as an example of community-based and intergenerational learning, which embraces individuals in small groups, networks and large coalitions and online spaces and connections. Against ‘necrophilic’ and intensely unsustainable ways of being-in-the world (of which capitalist and individualistic relations are the most powerful and damaging) this chapter will explore the connectedness of becoming woman with other ways of becoming, and other forms of life. It will offer a model of life-affirming practice which embraces but does not commodify difference. The question will be : what sort of inter-generational and transcultural spaces of learning will support the development and lives of girls and women in the future. Cities can provide some context for these explorations as they become home to more and more diverse communities seeking to live peacefully on common ground. Material for this chapter will be drawn from case studies in Manchester UK, from the Partispace Project currently being conducted in 8 European Cities and from Zimbabwe. The examples to be developed and worked through will be: Same sex love and relationship in the face of persecution; Mental Illness and frailty and our responses to it. By choosing examples where women’s lives have been defined and limited when seen as ‘the second sex’ and seen through other hierarchical oppressions such as racism it is hoped that we will be able to imagine a different and more affirmative future for practice. The need to challenge practices which shame and silence is not neglected here, but taken as read as the starting point from which an affirmative woman-centred practice might be developed. The aim will be to move away from liberal and individualistic accounts of feminist practice towards one rooted in an ethic of solidarity and care as a starting point.","PeriodicalId":235589,"journal":{"name":"Youth Work","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132542124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Where Is Faith-Based Youth Work Heading?","authors":"N. Thompson","doi":"10.1163/9789004396555_009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004396555_009","url":null,"abstract":"Since the global financial crash of the early twenty-first century, youth and community work has seen a decrease in funding alongside an increase in need. The effect of the dominantly right-wing response to the fiscal crisis on Western economies has seen both a reduction in state funding for work with young people and communities, as well as a decrease in resources and increase in burden on the charities sector. This has severely impacted on youth work both in contexts where state funding was previously available, and in other contexts where the provision of services for young people relies solely on the voluntary, community and charities sectors. \u0000 \u0000The years of austerity politics that have followed the financial crisis in the UK have led to severe cuts to state-funded youth work with budgets no longer ring-fenced at national level, and youth services set to be the first public service to completely disappear (Jeffs, 2015). Much youth work has been commissioned out with lower budgets and/or taken on by the struggling charities sector. Possibly the most consistently funded youth work over recent years has been that undertaken by faith groups. Whilst these faith groups have often operated rather separately from secular youth work providers (and even from each other), it is argued that times of challenge also bring opportunities for creative practice (Coburn and Gormally, 2017). \u0000 \u0000As funding for youth services has declined over recent years in the UK, there has been an increase in partnerships between secular and faith-based providers. These partnerships take various forms including faith-based projects employing non-religious staff or volunteers, local authorities or other funders commissioning work out to faith-based providers, as well as a range of more mutually negotiated, equal partnerships between secular and faith-based providers. Whilst statutory and other secular youth services have been subject to a neoliberal ‘targets and outcomes’ culture over recent decades, faith-based youth work has largely avoided this (Jeffs, 2015). \u0000 \u0000This chapter explores what the future of faith-based youth work might look like. In particular, it considers the recent growth in partnership working between faith-based and secular youth work, and the need for this to continue in an uncertain future for public services. It examines how these partnerships increase the capacity for faith-based youth work to contribute to civil society and continue to grow in prominence as a key player in the provision of youth and community services. It also identifies the increasing challenges presented to faith-based youth work by the right-wing ideologies that have gained in prominence in the UK and beyond. These include not just the austerity agenda but also a discourse of surveillance and suspicion. In the UK, this is seen particularly through recent counter-extremism legislation and calls for faith-based youth work providers to be registered, monitored and inspected (Home Offic","PeriodicalId":235589,"journal":{"name":"Youth Work","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134474550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
