Overview

This collection explores leading values and concepts in global child-based research through the lens of reflexivity. The book considers issues such as the identities and roles of researchers, as well as the burdens, boundaries and ethical frameworks which govern their activities. Using empirical examples from Israel, India, Thailand and England, expert contributors discuss a range of topics to include online safeguards, disabilities, gang membership, child protection and various sex-related issues. This book guides childhood research towards a more reflexive debate that critically challenges conventions, highlighting plurality of voice and improving outcomes.

Reviews

""An impressive range of global perspectives on conducting research with children. Engaging chapters prompt readers to consider the complexities and support necessary for research methodologies when designing projects that are both theoretically grounded and relevant to children."" Nicola Yelland, University of Melbourne ""By highlighting the messiness, the mistakes and the imperfections of research with children, this book offers a much-needed critical understanding of the value and potential of reflexivity as a research tool."" Spyros Spyrou, European University Cyprus ""This volume opens a difficult but important discussion about the challenges of research with children. Embracing reflexivity and relationality, this is an invaluable resource for researchers aspiring to transformative practice in critical childhood studies."" Kristen E. Cheney, University of Victoria
