У организацији Етнографског института САНУ 13. маја 2025. године одржана је међународна научна конференција „The polyphonic voice of youth“. На скупу су изглагачи из различитих друштвених и хуманистичких дисциплина имали прилику за размену резултата истраживања о разноврсним искуствима младих у различитим структурним и географским контекстима. Такође, конференција омогућава промишљање начина на који су млади представљени и позиционирани у савременим друштвима, као и начина на који се обликују интерсекционалне политичке субјективности у нестабилним друштвеним и политичким околностима. Конференција је окупила научнице и научнике из Велике Британије, Хрватске, Словачке, Грчке, Шпаније, Русије и Србије.

International Academic Conference “The Polyphonic Voice of Youth” at the Institute of Ethnography SASA, May 13, 2025
On May 13, 2025, the Institute of Ethnography of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts hosted the international academic conference The Polyphonic Voice of Youth. The event brought together scholars from a range of social science and humanities disciplines to share research findings on the diverse experiences of young people across various structural and geographical contexts. The conference also served as a platform for critical reflection on how youth are represented and positioned in contemporary societies, as well as how intersectional political subjectivities are formed in times of social and political instability. The conference gathered researchers from the United Kingdom, Croatia, Slovakia, Greece, Spain, Russia, and Serbia.
