Abstract
Increasingly, youth studies scholars challenge the accuracy of previously assumed boundaries, collapsing the imagined tidy division between youth/adulthood, or culture/politics (Coe and Vandegrift, 2015. Additionally, as other contributors to this volume have noted (Chapters 2 and 3), the field requires more careful bridging to connect social structure to the meanings and practices young people create in making a life).
