“…However, the ideology of youthfulness as a starting point does not suffice to explain marginalization based on age, as it affects younger age groups as well. An increasing number of studies demonstrate that ageism is also directed against children and youth, often discussed through the concepts of adultism (Bell 1995;Ceaser 2014;Flasher 1978;Kennedy 2006) and childism (Pierce and Allen 1975;Young-Bruehl 2012). For instance, entry as well as exit from the labour market can be affected by ageism, the former to a large extent especially targeting youth.…”

“…The articles used a variety of terms to refer to ageism towards younger populations, including not only ageism [ 71 , 140 , 206 ], but also reverse ageism [ 219 ], age-based bias [ 37 , 40 , 68 , 69 , 78 , 158 , 196 ], childism [ 194 ], and adultism [ 96 , 101 , 111 , 211 ].…”

“…The term adultism is used to refer to the stereotypes, feelings and behaviors of adults towards children and youth, which are based on the assumption that youth and children are naïve, inexperienced, or incompetent and that adults know better and are thus entitled to act upon them without their agreement [ 96 , 211 ]. Adultism represents the structural power that adults have over children in our society.…”

Systematic efforts have been carried out to study ageism against older populations. Less is known about ageism against younger populations, including how it is defined, how it manifests, its effects, and how it can be addressed. A scoping review was conducted aimed at identifying available evidence on these topics. A comprehensive search strategy was used across thirteen databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL. Records were screened by two independent reviewers. Data extraction was done by one rater and independently reviewed by a second rater. Of the 9270 records identified, 263 were eligible for inclusion. Most of the evidence focused on the manifestation of ageism (86%), followed by a focus on the determinants of ageism (17%), available interventions to address ageism (9%), and the effects of ageism (5%). This study points to the inconsistent terminology used to describe ageism against younger populations and the relatively limited theoretical rationale that guides existing studies. It also highlights key research gaps and points to the strengths of existing research.

“…In ethnographic fieldwork, it is also crucial to be aware of different perspectives amongst different actors who can have different experiences of inequality or different opportunities for being able to act (Santoro, 2014), including also differences of age (Ceaser, 2014). Thus, adults are usually assumed to have a specific approach to learning e.g.…”

Familiarity and distance in ethnographic fieldwork: field positions and relations in adult education

Familiarity and distance is an issue that is much discussed in ethnographic fieldwork. This paper focuses on the topic of balancing familiarity and distance when the researcher is directly or indirectly part of the field, which in the study consists of an adult education context of two different teacher-training courses for upper secondary teachers. The fieldworker is also a teacher at one of the courses in the study, which is thus in a double sense framed by the challenge of an adult education study. The analysis is based on Bourdieu's concept of participant objectification and Gold's categorising of roles in ethnographic fieldwork. It illustrates how different contexts depending on the prior familiarity of the fieldworker provide access to different degrees of participation. The particular adult education context and fieldworker relations complicate the fieldwork relations and the act of balancing familiarity and distance.
