This book analyses the challenges and opportunities faced by art-based social enterprises (ASEs) engaging young creatives in education and training and supporting their pathways to the creative industries. In doing so, it addresses the complex intersecting issues of marginality and entrepreneurship, particularly in relation to young creatives from socially, economically and culturally diverse backgrounds.

This collection examines the power and transformative potential of movements that fight against poverty and inequality. Broadly, poverty politics are struggles to define who is poor, what it means to be poor, what actions might be taken, and who should act.

Both views are challenged in recent scholarship on youthful politics beyond the formal, adult-centered political world. This book considers politics as it appears and unfolds in children and young people’s everyday lives. The collection problematizes several key concepts in the research field and introduces a r...
In the current era of deepened inequality and poverty in the U.S., philanthropy plays an increasing role in funding and governing the possible range of poverty action. Philanthropy acts upon poverty in three ways: funding poverty research, providing grants to anti-poverty nonprofit programs, and governing classed subjects who are the subject of/in philanthropy. While critical scholars criticize philanthropy for (re)producing wealth inequality and privileged classed subjects, there is a niche of philanthropic practices that purport to do things different, and tackle the root causes which produce and sustain impoverishment. This dissertation examines the possibilities and limitations to transf...
