Product Description
by Frances Howard (Author), Benjamin Hanckel (Author), Karenza Moore (Author)
Undertaking research with young people is an expanding approach within education, sociology, criminology, politics, youth work and psychology. This book introduces existing research methods such as interviews, focus groups, ethnography and creative methods, as well as covering newer methods including place-based methods, digital methods, co-production and co-authorship.
Each thematic chapter is followed by a shorter invited case study, which puts the specific method into practice. The resulting pedagogical material gives useful practical application of that method to the field as a guide that can be followed by both students and instructors. The book supports researchers and students in doing research with young people by highlighting tensions, challenges and opportunities in research processes to involve, work with, and research youth practices, lived experiences and expertise.Author Biography
