Title: Engaging young people as researchers
Name: Carol McNaughton Nicholls
Affiliation: Natcen
Abstract Details
Increasingly research funders, including ESRC, are encouraging an element of user involvement in research. As with all participative research, young people may be involved in projects at different stages and at different levels. Involving young people may also present unique challenges and benefits to a research team and the degree which young people are involved differs depending on the nature of the research, resources available and theoretical drivers behind such engagement. This workshop provides a practical and theoretical overview on the benefits and challenges of engaging young people in the research process and consists of two papers and a discussion.
