Adults were once children, yet a generational gap can present
itself when grown-ups seek to know children's lives, in research.
In A Younger Voice discloses how qualitative research, tailored to
be child-centered, can shrink the gap of generational
unintelligibility. The volume invites and instructs researchers who
want to explore children's vantage points as social actors. Its
suggested tool kit draws from both academic and applied research,
based on the author's lifelong career as a child-centered
qualitative researcher. World round, research in knowing children
has grown recently in anthropology, sociology, geography,
economics, cultural psychology and a host of applied fields. This
book draws widely from the trending child-centered research
movement, taking stock of methods for fulfilling its aims. In A
Younger Voice provides mature researchers with a kid-savvy guide to
learning effectively about, from, and with children. The
highlighted methods' are steadfastly child-attuned, "thinking
smaller" in order to free children to participate with empowerment.
From fieldwork and observation, to focus groups and depth
interviews, to the use of photography, artwork, and metaphors,
viable methods are discussed with an old-hand's acumen for making
the procedures practical with children in the field. Whether an
investigator is at the beginning of a project (designing from
scratch procedures to involve and reveal the young) or at the final
stages (conducting interpretations and analysis true to children's
meanings) In A Younger Voice gives know-how for a challenging area
of inquiry. Playfully interviewing children as young as five years
old, as well as empowering teenagers to tell it like it is, are
tasks revealed to be both doable and essential. For adults seeking
to overcome generational-cultural myopia, these methods are
invaluable.
