Young men, masculinities, education and employment are gaining increasing societal attention.

Dr Richard Gater’s timely new book, The 21st Century Ladz: Continuity and Changes among Marginalised Young Men from the South Wales Valleys, explores these themes through in-depth research in the South Wales Valleys, offering fresh insight into how young men navigate identity and change.

Described by Professor Steven Roberts as “important, compelling and thought-provoking”, the book sheds light on the lived experiences of young men in a changing world.

Join us to celebrate the launch of the book as Richard and Dr Dan Evans, author of A Nation of Shopkeepers: The Unstoppable Rise of the Petite Bourgeoisie, engage in a meet-the-author-style discussion. They’ll discuss sections of the book and invite the audience to join the conversation.
