Methodological Considerations for Bringing Youth in from the Margins

Part of the book series: New Research – New Voices ((NRNV))

Abstract

This chapter draws from the authors’ independent experiences of two research projects1 with Australian children whose parents had experienced incarceration.2 The chapter is grounded in a discussion of current thinking and prevailing methodological approaches to research with children. Current approaches to research with children of imprisoned parents are critiqued and examined in relation to current suggested practices.
