Perspectives from Young Children on the Margins (Paperback): Jane Murray, Colette Gray Perspectives from Young Children on the Margins (Paperback)
Jane Murray, Colette Gray
R1,369 Discovery Miles 13 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In spite of our apparently connected global environment, people are becoming less connected. Digital communication leads to fewer face-to-face engagements, and many young children are separated from their parents for extended periods. The post-truth phenomenon has resulted in mistrust between policymakers and the people they serve, whilst increased immigration has led to some rich countries adopting a protectionist stance that transforms collaboration into separatism. At its 2014 meeting, the European Early Childhood Education Research Association's Young Children's Perspectives Special Interest Group considered how these issues were affecting young children, particularly the many thousands entering Europe at that time as refugees and migrants escaping conflict in their home countries. Many of those displaced young children found themselves situated on the margins of their new contexts. The feeling of being 'othered' can be existential for any young child experiencing liminality, yet a sense of belonging is important for young children's well-being and development of identity: the feeling of belonging lies at the core of social inclusion. This book, the idea for which arose out of this meeting, is drawn from leading edge empirical studies, and reveals the diverse experiences of young children's marginalisation. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Early Childhood Education Research Journal.

Participatory Methodologies to Elevate Children's Voice and Agency (Paperback): Ilene R. Berson, Michael J. Berson,... Participatory Methodologies to Elevate Children's Voice and Agency (Paperback)
Ilene R. Berson, Michael J. Berson, Colette Gray
R1,852 Discovery Miles 18 520 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume of the Research in Global Child Advocacy Series explores participatory methodologies and tools that involve children in research. Perspectives on the role of children have transitioned from viewing children as objects of research, to children as subjects of research, to acknowledgement of children as competent contributors and agents throughout the inquiry process. Researchers continue to explore approaches that honor the capacity of children, drawing on diverse methodologies to elevate children's voices and actively engage them in the production of knowledge. Nonetheless, despite these developments, questions over the extent to which children can be free of adult filters and influence merits sustained scholarly attention. The book includes chapters that critically examine methodological approaches that empower children in the research process. Contributions include empirical or practitioner pieces that operate from an empowerment paradigm and demonstrate the agenic capacity of children to contribute their perspectives and voices to our understanding of childhood and children's lives. The text also features conceptual pieces that challenge existing theoretical frameworks, critique research paradigms, and analyze dilemmas or tensions related to ethics, policy and power relations in the research process.
