Sociological Studies of Children and Youth, an annual series which focuses upon research on children and adolescents, is seeking manuscript submissions for its 2015 volume. The volume will focus on the theme of ‘Technology and Youth: Growing up in a Digital World.'
Advancements in communication and leisure technologies over the past decade have radically transformed the role of technology in the lives of youth. Around the globe, children and adolescents are often seen as being the first to embrace new technologies, such as new forms of social media. Having a cell phone, once regarded as an adult technology, has become a necessity within youth culture in many societies. Even video games, once limited to stand-alone computers, have become a venue for social gatherings of youth. The rapid pace of technological advancement has brought about profound changes in the very nature of childhood and adolescence. The 2015 volume of SSCY will examine the role of technology in the lives of children and adolescents. The volume will address topics such as: cyberbullying, video games and aggressive behavior, online gaming and the development of social skills, sexting and sexuality, child pornography, virtual communities for children, social networking and peer relations, and other related issues. The 2015 volume with be coedited by Sampson Lee Blair, of The State University of New York (Buffalo) and Patricia Neff Claster and Samuel M. Claster, of Edinboro University.
