Bravo @kirareneekurz.bsky.social @britanlar.bsky.social !🌟🌟 So pleased to write review that starts: "What a great combination of theoretical and empirical work Kurz and Anlar have produced on the (under)representation of young people in political institutions around the world..."

Kira Renée Kurz@kirareneekurz.bsky.social · 6mo ago

It is finally out‼️ THANK YOU to everyone involved, especially for the openness to participate and believe in a book idea presented by - at the time - two Phd candidates :) As with most things, the process took longer than expected, but I'm super excited that the book has now become reality 🥰

*PSA26 Annual Conference* - taking place 30 March - 1 April 2026, Oxford. 📍 Call for papers, registration fees, and FAQs information online. 📆 Paper proposal deadline: 17 October 2025 ➡️ buff.ly/G6WTB20

Because not everyone demonstrating in London was being nasty - understatement - and violent (and despite what much of the media + plenty politicians + others would want you to think) - here are some peaceful pics from Russell Square I took during the counter march, to show more balance and hope ...

This #InternationalYouthDay, see how young people are shaping (or shut out of) public life. The Global Youth Participation Index tracks youth engagement in: - Education & work - Civic freedoms - Elections - Politics & leadership 🔍 Check your country’s score: www.gypi.epd.eu

🌍 Over half the world is under 30, how many shape the decisions that affect their lives? Today EPD launches the first Global Youth Participation Index (GYPI), measuring how youth engage in public life worldwide. 🔍 Explore it here: www.gypi.epd.eu #YouthParticipation #GYPI

📊 Key findings: – The average GYPI score is just 61/100 – Norway ranks highest with 84/100 – Authoritarian states rank at the bottom – Youth participation barriers are structural, not individual Explore the full index and see how your country performs 👉 www.gypi.epd.eu #GYPI #YouthParticipation

🔎 Youth exclusion isn’t apathy, it’s a global design flaw. The GYPI is the first tool to systematically measure young people’s participation in political, civic, and economic life in 141 countries.

Delighted to see this published - this article is based on my PhD @unistrathclyde.bsky.social and started as a humble draft in the @psayoungpol.bsky.social "Paper to Publication" workshop. Maybe also interesting to researchers in @rc34youth.bsky.social @uofgussp.bsky.social & @johnsmithcentre.com.

NEW ARTICLE ALERT! Gender differences in political interest and participation among politically active youth: Silvia Behrens www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The UK government proposes to lower the voting age to 16 #vote16 This is a landmark moment for all the young people (+ some older ones) who campaigned for this for years. It's been a privilege to work & do research with young people on #VotesAt16 in Scotland and Wales www.jrrt.org.uk/evidence-and...

And what a (huge) team effort it has been to produce the first ever Global Youth Participation Index (GYPI) - thank you to the GYPI Youth Panel, on the ground consultants and @epd.eu people in Brussels. See you at the launch soon ... that countdown clock ⬇️is motivating and inspiring: gypi.epd.eu
