Generational relations abound in the public sphere, from concerns that young people risk ‘wasting’ their lives to discussions on education, military investments, nuclear power and the welfare state. The workshop invites critical discussion on how generational encounters and relations are framed, particularly in relation to questions about good life.
The workshop is open to everyone.
