I work in the School of Education at Sheffield University and am interested in
the viewpoints of young people (between the age of about 10 and 18) who have
worked as young researchers. Increasingly there has been a trend in social
research for adults to engage young people in all or part of a research
project. Adults hold a range of views about ways in which this can be of
benefit to the research as well as to the young people themselves. Less is
known about the views of the young people who have had this experience.
I have a novel activity (completing a Q sort) that takes between 30 and 60
minutes to complete and I am keen to identify more participants. Some people on
this forum have very generously been involved, for which I am grateful.
I'd really appreciate it if there is anyone else out there who has worked as a
young researcher or who knows of any young people who might be described in
this way (either through any contacts you might have or if you have engaged
young people in this role yourself).
Please contact me if you have any leads.
Thanks,
Martin
