This article explores how young people conceptualise political agency in the context of climate change. Drawing on a Reflexive Thematic Analysis of 22 focus groups with 154 young people living in Portugal, aged 13 to 35, we identified four conceptions of political agency: transformational collective agency, proto-political collective action, indivi...
Aiming to better understand the relationship between youth activism and institutional politics, this article analyzes young climate activists’ interactions with political parties and how they shape the dynamics of the School Strike for Climate. Through a multi-sited ethnography in Portugal’s two major cities, we examined the participation experienc...
Young climate activists draw inspiration from diverse social and political struggles and use several tactics and strategies of collective action to build their movements. Extant scholarship on youth climate activist groups, such as the School Strike for Climate, has focused on how young people organise and set up their political priorities to tackl...
In recent climate mobilisations, young people have emerged as key leaders, organisers, and influencers of social change. This article examines how utopias and dystopias, embedded in affective-discursive practices, are articulated by young climate activists to support their engagement in collective action. We analysed discourse from four focus group...
Youth climate movements have increasingly adopted an intersectional approach to activism, highlighting how diverse social categories (inter alia, race, gender, social class, sexuality) intersect with power structures and systems of oppression. This article explores the educational value of practices of intersectionality as they unfold in activists’...
Minoritised youth voices are often underrepresented in climate action research. Despite the increasing interest in youth climate activism, there is still an overall lack of attention to the perspectives of young people struggling with discrimination, poverty, and other social injustices. In this article, we focus on a diverse group of minoritised y...
The last two decades have seen an unprecedented expansion of brutal border regimes around the world. People racialised as migrants are systematically disenfranchised, dispossessed and often exposed to forms of organised violence such as immigration detention and deportation. Despite the widespread political and scholarly debate on migration, the re...
This article results from research comprised of fieldwork ethnography, participant observation, collection of life stories, interviews and testimonials of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, living in Portugal.

This article examines the strategies of resistance enacted by an informal network of solidarity comprised of Afghan youths on the move in Europe and their Swedish allies. In 2015, thousands of Afghan children fleeing from the Taliban regime arrived in Europe as unaccompanied minors. Many have been hosted in Sweden and lived there for several years,...
This article explores the magnifying lenses of the COVID-19 syndemic to highlight how people racialized as migrants and refugees have been-and continue to be-disproportionally harmed. We use empirical evidence collected in our scholarly/activist work in Europe, Africa, South Asia, and the United States to examine migrant injustice as being produced...
In the aftermath of the events which came to be known as refugee crisis, EU countries tightened their admission criteria for asylum seekers, proposing re-interpretations of the Geneva Convention. Many individuals and families were left out of the system, rejected or turn...
The so-called refugee crisis encouraged the expression of different forms of solidarity and activism, opposing increasingly oppressive asylum policies. New solidarity movements and social participation projects were created, stimulated by the relationships established between newcomers and civil society. However, grassroots refugee activism seems t...
Short summary Informal solidarity provided by volunteers, refugees and activists has been a form of agency and resistance against the structural violence wielded by hardline migration policies and the morality they convey, providing alternatives to people living in hostile sociopolitical environments. Abstract In the aftermath of the events categor...
