The role of celebrity in young people¡¯s classed and gendered aspirations

ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ

There are concerns that celebrity culture is having a bad impact on young people¡¯s aspirations by leading them to hope for cheaply earned fame rather than achievement based on hard work and skill. This will be the first UK-based empirical study to examine celebrity¡¯s significance in the construction of young people¡¯s aspirations. Building on research suggesting that celebrity informs educational and career aspirations. In complex ways, it will explore how celebrities¡¯ accounts of aspiration shape young people¡¯s imagined futures. The focus will be on social class and gender because a large body of research shows that these are ?central to educational and career aspirations and choices.
