What’s shaping youth life right now
Recent research, news, and youth-focused writing—organized in one place so you can stay current and stay grounded.
How this page updates
Research auto-loads from OpenAlex based on your keywords and year range. News & blog posts pull from the RSS feeds you choose. You can swap sources any time by editing the feed list in the code.

What’s being pulled
OpenAlex Works (auto)
Uses keyword search across titles/abstracts/fulltext (when available) and filters by publication year. Titles link to DOI when present.
Tip: tighten relevance
Add terms like “United States”, “high school”, “postsecondary”, “youth employment”, “mental health”, “foster care”, “juvenile justice”, or “community”.
Optional: add a Crossref fallback
If you ever want a second research source, Crossref’s REST API supports keyword queries and date filters for works.
You can change the default keywords in the code by editing the value on the research search input.
Recent news and blogs related to youth in America
Click “Load News & Blogs.” If a feed blocks cross-site loading, you’ll see a note for that source.
Feed sources
Add or remove RSS feeds in the FEEDS array in the script below. Include your own blog RSS here too (Squarespace blogs often have an RSS endpoint).
If a feed fails due to CORS, the easiest fix is to use a small proxy (serverless) or a feed service that returns JSON with CORS enabled.
