    Abstract

    This roundtable discussion explores how adolescence, student identity and educational institutions are framed and positioned in the Netflix series Adolescence. The creators of Adolescence wished to “provoke a conversation” about young people’s experiences in the digital age, male violence and the manosphere. In this roundtable discussion, six UK based educators reflect on the series and engage in a critical discussion regarding its representations of students on screen.
