Book Overview

This book features interviews with 19 scholars who do research with children in a variety of contexts. It examines how these key scholars address research after the child by exploring the opportunities and challenges of drawing on posthumanist and materialist methodologies that unsettle humanist research practices.

The book reflects on how posthumanist and materialist approaches have informed research in relation to de-centering the child, re-thinking methodological concepts of voice, agency, data, analysis and representation. It also explores what the future of research after the child might entail and offers suggestions to new and emerging scholars involved in research with children.

Target Audience

Reviewing how posthumanist and materialist approaches have informed authors’ thinking about children, research and knowledge production, the book will appeal to graduate students and emerging scholars in the field of childhood studies who wish to experiment with posthumanist methodologies and materialist approaches.
