Freedoms, Faiths and Futures: Teenage Australians on Religion, Sexuality and Diversity

Autor Andrew Singleton, Mary Lou Rasmussen, Anna Halafoff, Gary Bouma
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2022
How do contemporary teenagers experience and understand religious, spiritual, gender and sexual diversity? How are their experiences mediated by where they go to school, their faith and their geographic location? Are their outlooks materialist, religious, spiritual, or do they have hybrid identities?Freedoms, Faiths and Futures: Teenage Australians on Religion, Sexuality and Diversity offers powerful insight into how teenagers make sense of the world around them. Drawing on rich data from a major national study, this book creates new ways of understanding the complexity of young people's lives and how school education covering diversity best addresses their world.This book argues that school education focused on worldviews is founded on ways of thinking about young people that do not reflect the complexities of Generation Z's everyday experiences of diversity and their interactions with each other. It argues that certain kinds of education in schools can play a significant role in developing religious literacy, tolerance and positive attitudes to diversity.

Recenzii

Freedom, Faiths and Futures by Singleton et al. is among the best presentations of research into the religious worldview of generation Z. The authors amplify the voices of young people, providing an analysis of data that gives expression to these voices, rather than dampening them through methodological rigour. These are voices that need to be heard.
This book offers a thorough investigation of the perspectives of young Australians and is a must-read for scholars exploring youth and religion.
Freedoms, Faiths and Futures uses data gathered from Australian teens to chart a new course in the study of religion/worldviews. Using categories beyond traditional religious identities, it provides insights into what Australian teens are thinking and offers a new typology for understanding systems of meaning.
A topical and significant book ... The authors have presented valuable research data in a convincing narrative that gives voice to the young people that they have interviewed, while contributing to the growing literature on religious diversity in the sociology of religion.
