I am delighted to share this episode with Dr Frances Howard and Dr Karenza Moore on the topic of "Researching WITH Young People - An Introduction to Youth-Centred Research Methods" which is the title of their most recent book co-authored with Benjamin Hanckel, Sophie Atherton and Janina Suppers.

This episode is also selfishly very much for me as I am about to embark on my fieldwork in a school and my work is a Participatory Action Research Project with young people and adult champions.

But it would be of interest to any parent, guardian, carer and educator, teacher and staff interested in BE-ing and BE-COME-ing WITH young people.

Notice WITH (not another preposition) as this is important.

We discuss more particularly:

💞 Power dynamics

💞 Ethics in youth-centred research and challenges in institutional ethics

💞 Practical strategies for engaging with young people

💞 The power of small steps

💞 Listening as a skill

💞 Understanding young people's experiences

💞 Adultism and how to challenge it

💞 Creative Methods in Research

💞 Embracing complexity in Youth research

And we finish with the five principles for engaging WITH young people

I hope you enJOY listening to this imperfectly perfect conversation as much as I did recording it!
