'Researching young people's lives will be useful to both the novice
researcher and anyone interested in learning about new methods of
practice' - Youth Studies Australia Researching Young People's
Lives provides an overview of some of the key methodological
challenges facing youth researchers and an introduction to the
broad repertoire of methods used in youth-orientated research. The
book is split into two sections. In the first half of the book, the
authors consider the broad methodological and contextual concerns
of relevance to the design and conduct of youth research, including
ethical issues, the importance of context, and the rise of
participatory approaches to youth research. The second part of the
book focuses on the use of specific research methods in the conduct
of youth research, ranging from surveys and secondary analysis
through to interviewing, ethnography, visual methods, and the use
of the internet in youth research. Throughout the book, the
emphasis is on research in practice, and examples are drawn from
recent youth research projects from a wide range of disciplines and
substantive areas, and from a range of both UK and non-UK contexts.
This is an ideal introduction to the field for novice researchers,
in particular students studying and researching in the broad area
of youth studies. It should also appeal to practitioners engaged in
evaluation of service provision to young people, and to established
youth researchers who might wish to explore the potential of using
a different set of methods to those with which they are already
familiar.
