  PhD Grant in Urban Anthropology of Youth in Laos

  EASt provides a PhD grant for a research titled: “Negotiating Identities in Public Spaces Among Old and New Groups of Young City Dwellers in Vientiane, Laos”. The research will explore how young migrants experience, use and appropriate public spaces, including cyberspace, in the Lao fast-developing capital, Vientiane. How are their social maps structured and negotiated in relation to public spaces? How do they interact and perceive their relationship with the local youth born and bred in Vientiane? How do they coexist and socialise in urban public spaces?

  The urban experience of children and the institutional treatment of minors

  Rethinking the issue of age in the city

  Cette journée d’étude a comme objectif de croiser trois questions de sciences sociales qui sont habituellement traitées séparément : les institutions, l’âge et la ville. Pour ce faire, la journée s’interroge sur la production institutionnelle de l’enfance et des catégories d’âges. La dimension urbaine permet de mettre en contexte la réflexion sur le travail des intuitions qui s’occupent d’enfance et ses possibles variations dans des contextes et des tissus sociaux différents.
