      Michael Boampong is Lecturer in Childhood and Youth Studies at the Open University, UK. His most recent research explored the impact of the 2008 financial crisis on young people’s everyday life within Ghanaian transnational households. His research interest concerns how globalisation and international political economy impacts childhood, transnational childhoods and youth transitions as well as creative and participatory research methods. Previously, he served a migration and youth policy specialist to several United Nations agencies and the Commonwealth Secretariat. Michael is the author of the United Nations flagship publication Youth and Migration (2013). He is currently the lead consultant to the Government of Ghana in the review of Ghana’s National Youth Policy.

      Jacob Breslow is Assistant Professor of Gender and Sexuality at the LSE Department of Gender Studies, UK. His primary line of research is on contemporary social justice movements in the US, and the ways in which the idea of childhood works within and against them. His book, which explores childhood’s relation to blackness, transfeminism, queerness and deportability, is entitled Ambivalent Childhoods: Speculative Futures and the Psychic Life of the Child (2021) and is being published with the University of Minnesota Press. His research has been published in Comparative American Studies (2020), American Quarterly (2019), Porn Studies (2018) and Transgender Studies Quarterly (2017). Currently, he is extending his research on trans* childhood, and he is working on a special issue tentatively entitled Queer and Trans Geographies of Accommodation and Displacement.

      Chiung-wen Chang is Assistant Professor at the National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan. Her work has focused upon geographies of alternative economies with special concern about the ways that people situated in marginal areas/status act collectively in response to capitalist hegemony of neoliberalist economy. Her previous study was to look at knowledge transfer systems of organic farming among smallholders. She is now engaged in practices of post-capitalist communing. One programme is the initiation of credit union movement on campus. It aims at enhancing financial literature and encouraging young people to help each other through a campus-based credit union. Another is cooperative-informed participation in eastern Taiwan. An on-going project is to co-work with activists of animal welfare to support the elders to develop backyard poultry by setting up micro-businesses in a cooperative form. It is to connect community practices of solidarity economy to ideas of active aging and animal welfare at a community level.

      Caroline Day is Senior Lecturer in the School of the Environment, Geography and Geosciences at the University of Portsmouth, UK. Caroline’s research interests focus on a number of issues that fall within the wider discourse of International Development. These include children, young people and families, HIV and AIDS, disability and caregiving and the wider role that gender plays in the development of the global South. Caroline’s work has most often focused on vulnerable children and young people in both the UK and Africa, examining how issues such as caregiving, bereavement, poverty, disability and special needs, substance misuse, sexual exploitation and homelessness can socially exclude young people from mainstream society.
