Researching Children and Childhoods
By Sarah Coombs
0 - Default Title
Description
Providing students with a guide to support their ventures into research with children and young people, this book offers practical advice on writing a thesis/dissertation and will enable readers to:
- confidently reflect on the ethical issues embedded in their own projects and recognise them as opportunities for discussion within their dissertations or thesis - demystify the role of methodologies and position them as essential tools for their research - consider the efficacy of concepts such as agency, autonomy, participation, subjectivity, and voice as ways of understanding childhood and children's lived experiences - use ideas such as positionality, self-disclosure and category entitlement to recognise the integral role of researcher identity and relationships in the construction of knowledge - use 'I' authoritatively when writing about their own research without reducing content to descriptive, opinion based discussions - situate their research by exploring the context in which the research takes place and the power relations embedded within participants and researcher relationships
Each chapter includes a variety of researcher experiences, vignette examples, and specific activities, aimed at applying the key themes represented in this volume into research dissertations.
