Congratulations to Sociology Professor Jackie Kennelly on the publication of her new book Burnt by Democracy: Youth, Inequality, and the Erosion of Civic Life.
Burnt by Democracy traces the political ascendance of neoliberalism and its effects on youth. The book explores democracy and citizenship as described in interviews with over forty young people – ages 16 to 30 – who have either experienced homelessness or identify as an activist, living in five liberal democracies: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Check it out here!
Burnt by Democracy has also been listed as #10 by The Times Hill in the top 100 books of 2023!
Congratulations Jackie on this amazing accomplishment!
