Research with Children

The entirely revised third edition of Research with Children forms a unique resource book on the methodology of childhood research with a core emphasis on theory-driven practices. As in the previous two editions, this edition presents particular standpoints in the field, whilst also reflecting the latest developments in the now well-established interdisciplinary field of childhood studies.

A rich collection of contributions from leading researchers across a range of disciplinary backgrounds, research practices, and theoretical perspectives discuss central questions of epistemology and methodology, demonstrating the links between theory and practice. This edition includes exciting new chapters on:

• Internet-based research and contemporary technology,
• Family-based research,
• Children as researchers,
• Participatory research in the global context,
• New directions for childhood research.

Both theoretical and practical questions are set out in a well-argued fashion that enables easier navigation through the various complexities of the epistemological and methodological questions arising in contemporary research practices with children. As such, this text will appeal to both the newcomer to childhood studies and to experienced researchers in the field. With fully updated chapters, new material, and a revised, clearer structure, this new edition will be a valuable resource for researchers working with children.
