The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University is proud to announce the publication of Gen Z, Explained: The Art of Living in a Digital Age.
The book is the product of a CASBS-incubated collaborative project, “Understanding the iGeneration,” launched in 2017 to consider how those born after the proliferation of the internet in the mid-1990s are different from those born prior to it.
The cross-national study of the project and book brings to bear the multi-disciplinary expertise of its authors: anthropologist Roberta Katz (CASBS senior research scholar), linguist Sarah Ogilvie (CASBS fellow 2017–18, research affiliate 2018–21), historian Jane Shaw (CASBS visiting scholar 2012–14, research affiliate 2018–21); and sociologist Linda Woodhead (CASBS fellow 2018–19, research affiliate 2019–21).
The authors investigate the values, attitudes, motivations, perceptions, imaginations, aspirations, and habits of Gen Z. The nuanced findings and insights yield an authoritative portrait that advances our understanding of the most diverse generation ever. In achieving this, Katz, Ogilvie, Shaw, and Woodhead also advance the conversation about what we may learn from Gen Z and how Gen Z can lead us toward new ways of thinking and solving some of society’s most pressing challenges.
Gen Z, Explained is published by University of Chicago Press.
