The fifth session in our Researching Youth Seminar series hosted by the British Educational Research Association (BERA) special interest group for Youth Studies & Informal Education, in collaboration with the British Sociological Association (BSA)’s Youth Study Group and the Political Studies Association (PSA)’s Young People’s Politics Specialist Group.

This session is particularly geared towards PGRs and ECRs and will see two one-hour sessions exploring the concepts of resilience and adaptability in research with young people. We will have two short presentations. This is followed by breakout room discussions of attendees’ own research in relation to the concepts of resilience and adaptability.

The second half will be a roundtable with four speakers at different career stages, who will share their experiences on career transitions. This will be followed by a discussion and another round of breakout rooms to discuss career transitions in relation to the attendees’ own career planning.
