Mediated Youth
ISSN: 1555-1814
Mediated Youth publishes cutting-edge research on the cultures, media and artifacts of children, tweens, teens, and young adults. This series aims to understand the complex relationship between youth and mediated cultures, and, whenever possible, include the voices of youth themselves. The series welcomes works that study any forms of digital culture, media culture or popular culture, such as social media, gaming, film/TV, music, fashion, sports, toys, leisure, clubs, school cultures/activities, film, dance, language, licensing/merchandising, and subcultures. Books in this series endeavor to explore how young people critically engage with mediated culture. The series invites works that engage with transdisciplinary methods and embrace a variety of critical perspectives.

Critical Studies in Democracy and Political Literacy
ISSN: 2166-5036
Why do so few people vote? What is political engagement? How does education intersect with democracy and political literacy? What can be learned from interdisciplinary studies on democracy? How do we cultivate political literacy? What is the relevance of elections in light of war, poverty, discrimination, social inequalities, etc.? What are the alternatives to the traditional electoral, representative, party-politics models that have characterized our societies? Is the mainstream media holding government to account, disseminating propaganda or fuelling the need to pacify the population? How do international systems, approaches and realities related to democracy compare, and what can we learn from others? These are some of the questions that are addressed through this book series. Seeking to fill an important gap in the literature, this book series takes on the theme of democracy in a multi-/inter-disciplinary, comprehensive, and critical way. Some books have democracy in the title but do not make it the focus, and often books that address more directly, for example, multiculturalism, media studies, or school reform may delve into the area of democracy without fully deconstructing what it is, how it functions, how people can shape and intersect with it, and how it is used (or misused) to distort power relations, which is at the base of teaching, learning and action. Thus, a broader range of materials specifically tailored to teacher-education and scholars within the education field is desirable. Similarly, the overlapping and interdisciplinary nature of the study of democracy bleeds naturally into the areas of media studies, sociology, political science, peace studies, multiculturalism, feminist studies, and cultural studies, etc., all of which have a natural and inextricable relationship to and within education.
