Abstract

This issue of Boyhood Studies contains material from established and emerging authors who continue to tackle important issues related to boys’ and young men's lives across the globe as well as within literature written about and for boys. We also look forward and draw readers attention to an upcoming special issue (volume 17, issue 1) that focuses on global south perspectives on youth and will be edited by Shannon Philip and colleagues. As new questions arise within academic institutions in the Global North around decolonization and colonial frameworks, this forthcoming special issue will explore how a decolonial and Global South–focused analysis of young lives can contribute analytically to the field of boyhood and young men.
