Newcastle Youth Studies Centre Seminar Series: Fintech Futures

Wednesday 19 Aug 2026 from 4:00pm - Wednesday 19 Aug 2026 until 6:00pm

Led by the School of Humanities, Creative Industries and Social Sciences and delivered through the Newcastle Youth Studies Centre, this webinar series brings together researchers working with young people to understand their lives and the social, cultural and economic forces shaping them. The series foregrounds youth-centred research that challenges simplistic or risk-based perspectives, presenting young people’s experiences of inequality, digital technologies, labour market change, housing and climate futures. It highlights the importance of social science research in amplifying young people’s perspectives and informing public debate, policy and practice.
