Over the past 10–15 years, children, adolescents, and youth worldwide have lived through overlapping emergencies: the COVID-19 pandemic; intensified border regimes, migration control, and detention; racialized and colonial state violence; war and occupation; environmental disaster; and the erosion of social and educational safety nets. These crises shape not only early childhood, but also adolescent identity formation, schooling, embodiment, political consciousness, and future-making.
