Fleur GABRIEL is a PhD candidate in the School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences at Monash University, Australia. Her research uses post-structuralist theory, specifically Derridean deconstruction, to analyse discursive constructions of youth. Her work references a number of contemporary youth issues and events, and analyses both academic and popular media texts, in considering the limits and effects of such constructions with particular regard to the articulation, experience, and treatment of so-called youth problems. Fleur tutors in media and communication studies and, with the completion of her PhD studies close at hand, looks forward to pursuing an academic career.
