“…Scholars are only beginning to look at the implications of cultural and spatial analyses of literature in their work with young people and with literacy educators (Brooks and Cueto, 2018;Glenn, 2017;Spring, 2016). Building on our methods of spatial literary analysis and discussions with teachers detailed in this paper, our work going forward is to further engage in these frameworks with teachers and their students in classroom settings.…”

Purpose In an era when engagement in public spaces and places is increasingly regulated and constrained, we argue for the use of literary analytic tools to enable younger generations to critically examine and reenvision everyday spatialities (Rogers, 2016; Rogers et al., 2015). The purpose of this paper is to consider how spatial analyses of contemporary young adult literature enrich interrogations of the spaces and places youth must navigate, and the consequences of participation for different bodies across those spheres. Design/methodology/approach In a graduate seminar of teachers and writers, we examined literary texts through a combined framework of feminist cultural geography, mobilities and critical mobilities studies. In this paper, we interweave our own spatial analyses of two selected works of young adult fiction with the reflections of our graduate student participants to explore our spatial framework and its potential to enhance critical approaches to literature instruction. Findings We argue that spatial literary analysis may equip teachers and students with tools to critically examine the spaces and places of everyday life and creatively reenvision what it means to be an engaged citizen in uncertain and troubling times. Originality/value While we have engaged in this work for several years, we found that in light of the global pandemic, coupled with the recent antiracist demonstrations, a spatial approach to literary study emerges as a potentially even more relevant and powerful component of literature instruction.

“…The breadth of these imaginaries introduces liminal spaces where young people may participate as actors at different scales and identify with diverse conceptions of their generation and their responsibility for the environment. The liminal position of young people as citizens in the making has been well established (Skelton, 2010;Wood, 2013;Worth, 2016), as has the space for liminality between notions of citizenship as a status and the everyday practice of lived citizenship (Staeheli, 2011). However, the liminality that confronts young people as a result of their interactions with institutions representing imaginaries of citizenship at different scales has not been discussed as widely.…”

Youth participation has become an important element of environmental governance and is also a way that young people learn about the expectations of citizenship. In the global South, young people are confronted with multiple understandings of citizenship as international development organisations may introduce citizenship in a liberal, democratic framing which may differ from national citizenship norms.In Vietnam, state agencies have a history of supporting youth participation linked to nation building and community service. These activities create an imaginary which highlights citizenship as a status and the national scale as being central.More recently, liberalisation policies have opened the door for activities of international organisations which extend imaginaries of citizenship to the global scale and beyond status to a process centred on creating a sense of belonging. Other forms of participation are also flourishing, thanks to the increasing reach of social media. This paper explores how the diversity of this landscape creates liminal spaces of citizenship which young people navigate, working within and between different scales and imaginaries.
