Creative methods in research with children and young people – YouTube

A webinar delivered as part of our Supporting Children and Families Theme

Creative methodologies have long been used in approaches to communicating with children and young people in healthcare contexts. Now creative methodologies are increasingly being used in research about children’s and young people’s experiences of illness, disability and healthcare. Examining the use of creative methods across applied health and research contexts helps us consider the complexities of ensuring their potential for enabling children’s and young people’s perspectives to be represented and responded to.

This webinar presents an overview of creative and collaborative approaches to communicating and researching with children and young people in projects focused on producing materials for direct use in healthcare and other projects concerned with exploring their perspectives on different aspects of their lives.

Creative methods for listening, communicating and understanding the different perspectives of children and young people in research

Presented by Janice McLaughlin (Professor of Sociology, School of Geography, Newcastle University) we explore creative methods for listening, communicating and understanding the different perspectives of children and young people in research. Janice will discuss principles of agency, accessibility and authenticity in communicating with and representing children and young people in research. Ethical tensions and methodological challenges raised by creative and collaborative approaches with children and young people will be considered.
