Shane is back! The beloved heroine of students and faculty alike
returns in this third volume of the acclaimed series, focusing on
the basic how-to's and foundations of ethnographic studies of
children and childhoods. The book opens with Shane trying to land a
post-doc working in a department of cultural anthropologists
studying children and childhood. Rather predictably, Shane
initially sees children as nothing more than small adults. But in
this book she'll be forced to reorient herself, yet again. As
usual, she is aided by the spirits of the ancestors, of senior
colleagues, of talking guinea pigs and gigantic head lice, and
through it all by her esteemed guide, Billy the Literal Kid. This
illustrated guide will orient the reader to the fundamental
challenges in doing ethnographic research with children. The book
begins by briefly exploring the history of research on children,
with children, for children and "by" children. Throughout, it is
about doing research with children rather than on them,
highlighting their participant rather than object nature. Topics
covered include: Foundations of child development Defining
childhood The history, essential theories and major works in the
anthropology of childhood Children's culture and popular
Kinderculture Ethical concerns and IRBs Foundations of naturalistic
inquiry with children Introduction to ethnographic methods with
child participants, including detailed guidance in observation and
interview methods Practical guidelines for analyzing children's
artwork and other visual products Addressing the complexities of
adult researcher subjectivities and roles This book is intended for
the novice ethnographic researcher and student alike with learning
at its core and is designed to encourage wider and deeper reading.
It is a useful tool for teaching advanced undergraduate and
graduate students in Education, Anthropology, Childhood Studies,
Nursing, Communications, Media Studies, Art Education, and more, as
well as an essential volume for any faculty bookshelf.
