Unashamed Citizenship and Girl Power: Young Women's Activism and Innocence from US Civil Rights to the Global Climate Strike
Jill Locke will introduce her concept of unashamed citizenship (2016) through the case of young women desegregating US schools and extend it to the global climate strike led by Greta Thunberg. She uses her concept of "unashamed citizenship" to re-read young women's activism as deeply connected, intergenerational, and complex struggle rather than the special properties of "girl power" with its tropes and memes of girls' special vision and social power.
