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, which will begin with insight and context from Dr Alex Blower, founder of the Boys’ Impact movement. This will be followed by a meet-the-author-style discussion with Richard and Dr Dan Evans, author of ‘A Nation of Shopkeepers: The Unstoppable Rise of the Petite Bourgeoisie’. Together, they will explore key sections of the book and invite the audience to join the conversation.
