This book explores the alternative experiences of children and
young people whose everyday lives contradict ideas and ideals of
normalcy from the local to the global context. Presenting empirical
research and conceptual interventions from a variety of
international contexts, this book seeks to contribute to
understandings of alterity, agency and everyday precarity. The
young lives foregrounded in this volume include the experiences of
transnational families, children in ethnic minority communities,
street-living young people, disabled children, child soldiers,
victims of abuse, politically active young people, working children
and those engaging with alternative education. By exploring 'other'
ways of being, doing, and thinking about childhood, this book
addresses questions around what it is to be a child and what it is
to be marginalised in society. The narratives explore the
everydayness and the mundanity of difference as they are
experienced through social structures and relationships,
simultaneously recognizing and critiquing notions of agency and
power. This book, including a discussion resource for teaching or
peer reading groups, will appeal to academics, students and
researchers across subject disciplines including Human Geography,
Children's Geography, Social Care and Childhood Studies.
Drawing on varied expertise from specialisms across the
sub-disciplines of social and cultural geography, this book seeks
to interrogate what it is to do research with people widely
considered to be vulnerable. Written from an emancipatory
standpoint, this book addresses the ethical and practical
challenges that face researchers working with marginalised people.
With chapters exploring the authors' own experiences of working
with a wide range of participants including homeless people,
indigenous peoples, drug addicts, learning disabled children, and
prisoners, the book draws on research undertaken by academics
across the globe. Geographical Research with 'Vulnerable Groups'
unpicks and interrogates each part of the research process, from
obtaining ethics permission from review bodies, to recruitment and
gatekeepers, through to dissemination of research findings.
Throughout the discussion, authors foreground the relational
identities of the actors in the research process, highlighting the
ways in which institutional attempts to protect marginalised people
from risk, perpetuate a perceived, and even material,
vulnerability. This honest and empirically driven text will provide
an illuminating insight for researchers embarking on research with
marginalised people. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of Social & Cultural Geography.

This book shines a light on the way in which risk – in and beyond
childbirth – is highly contextual, and the way in which
risk-management strategies can be understood as socially and
materially constructed.Â
Introducing a broad range of innovative and creative qualitative
methods, this accessible book shows you how to use them in research
project while providing straightforward advice on how to approach
every step of the process, from planning and organisation to
writing up and disseminating research. It offers: Demonstration of
creative methods using both primary or secondary data. Practical
guidance on overcoming common hurdles, such as getting ethical
clearance and conducting a risk assessment. Encouragement to
reflect critically on the processes involved in research. The
authors provide a complete toolkit for conducting research in
geography, while ensuring the most cutting-edge methods are
unintimidating to the reader.
