Routledge - Negotiating Adult-Child Relationships in Research

Negotiating Adult-Child Relationships in Early Childhood Research by Routledge provides a deep critique of current ethics in research settings. This book moves away from technicist and neoliberal approaches to explore the complex and messy realities researchers face when working with young participants. While the importance of these connections is growing, the specific dynamics between adult researchers and very young children have often been under-theorised and neglected. This text addresses that gap by offering a comprehensive conceptualisation of these research relationships. By examining the questions and challenges inherent in these interactions, the book serves as a vital resource for those studying early childhood education and research ethics.
