Chapter 6 in Working in Jamie’s Kitchen, 2009, pp 215-249 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In Chapter 2 of this book we spent a significant amount of space examining, analysing and problematizing the ways in which young people are made known within a variety of spaces (policy, academic, community); in relation to a variety of purposes and ends (education, training, work); by a variety of individuals, organizations, agencies (Jamie Oliver, Fifteen Foundation, Education departments, employment agencies, NGOs). Much of that discussion was framed by the intent of locating the Fifteen Foundation training programme in particular historical, social, economic and technological contexts; and in the sorts of problematizations that make contemporary populations of young people knowable, manageable, governable in these contexts.
