The concept of generations has become a widely discussed area, with recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic revealing our dependence on intergenerational relationships both within and beyond the family. However, the concept can often be misunderstood, which can fuel divisions between age groups rather than generating solutions.



This collection introduces and explores the growing field of generational studies, providing a comprehensive overview of its strengths and limitations. With contributions from academics across a range of disciplines, the book showcases the concepts interdisciplinary potential by applying a generational lens to fields including sociology, literature, history, psychology, media studies and politics.



Offering fresh perspectives, this original collection is a valuable addition to the field, opening new avenues for generational thinking.
