About this conference
International Conference on Youth Narratives and Cultural Practices Across the Globe in the 20th and 21st Century is a 3-day conference in Delhi, India on 28–30 Oct 2026. Abstract deadline: 23 Oct 2026. Organizer: jnu..
Youth, at present, occupies a major demographic share around the world, especially in the developing nations. Their role has been crucial in the realisation of ideologies, governance, economics and socio-cultural contexts in earlier centuries as well but more so in the 20th and 21st century. Literature, cinema, music, digital media, art, activism, and everyday cultural expressions produced by and about young people have consistently articulated experiences of inequality, justice, aspiration, resistance, and belonging. This international conference seeks to examine these youth narratives and cultural practices from a global and comparative perspective, situating them within the broader framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
