• W2912678474 abstract "This thesis draws on eleven months of ethnographic fieldwork to examine lives of young people aged between 16 and 30 years in rural Gujarat, India. It is shaped around four standalone articles that examine spatial aspects of young men and women's secondary and higher education, and employment strategies. Taken both individually and collectively, articles employ a conceptual framework of relationality in order to critically examine complexity of young people’s lives. Relationality crosses spatial scales, from individual body though to intersecting with processes of globalization. My analysis interrogates these scalar connections within and across different spaces, and ways in which these spaces produce, reinforce, and transform relations of power, difference, and identity. In doing so it makes a series of critical contributions to ongoing debates about educated unemployed youth, geographies of friendship, youth transitions and imagined futures, and young people’s mobilities. The thesis reflects on the everyday as a locus of social change and continuity, focusing on a first generation of formally educated young men and women from socioeconomically marginalized Other Backward Classes, Scheduled Caste, and Scheduled Tribe populations in rural Gujarat. Among this demographic, and in part a consequence of ongoing structural transformations to India’s education sector, families are increasingly prolonging formal education of their offspring as they pursue projects of social reform. In a context where education manifestly cannot guarantee a smooth transition into secure employment, a relational approach that places an emphasis on quality and nature of connections and relationships provides a valuable framework for understanding young people's lives. My work forwards three broader arguments in relation to this emergent generation of educated young people from marginalized communities. Firstly, I argue for greater empirical and theoretical attention to young people's movements within and across space in order to fully theorize age as a social relation. Related to this my analysis supports case for a multi-sited methodological approach in order to locate young people within significant social relations that shape their lives. Secondly, scale of offers productive insights into how political and economic changes associated with liberalization in contemporary India are affecting marginalized populations. Rather than focusing on processes occurring within educational institutions, thesis takes a broader focus to examine how young people conceive of, value, and mobilize their formal education in their daily lives. Finally, attention to both inter- and intra-generational relations as significant and influential to young people’s lives foregrounds breadth of social relations that bear down upon social, cultural, and economic aspirations of youth in contemporary rural India." @default.
