MESSAGE SENT ON BEHALF OF BARRY PERCY-SMITH ***** Apologies for cross posting********* Dear Colleague We are currently planning an edited book on the theory and practice of children and young people's participation. We have had initial discussions with Routledge who have now asked to see a detailed proposal. We envisage a book that will be highly collaborative and dialogic - so, rather than simply approaching a limited number of individuals with requests to write a particular chapter, we are circulating a wider group to ask for expressions of interest in making a contribution. Our current thinking is that the book could include: a) Reports on practice in children's participation and the different national and social contexts in which it takes place - mainly intended to inform, but with some elements of critical reflection and analysis too. b) Contributions to the theorising of children's participation - grounded in different disciplines, and also international. c) Space for different styles of writing - 'think pieces' and field reports as well as formal academic papers, contributions by children and young people, and if possible a visual element too. d) Short passages of dialogue linking the chapters - both editorial interventions and comment by chapter authors on others' contributions. Would you be interested in making a contribution to such a book? If so please contact one of us with your thoughts, preferably before the end of March.
