Interdisciplinary research with children, young people and families: crossing boundaries, sharing stories

Wednesday 7^th September 2016

University of Northampton, UK

Boundary-crossing research methods, projects, debates and collaborations are increasingly valued and fostered by research funders, and are increasingly understood to produce rich, impact-ful and important research, but can also cause interdisciplinary tensions and challenges.  In these contexts this conference will bring together researchers from a range of disciplines to explore: (1) collaboration between different academic disciplines; (2) the development of collaborative research methods and practices; (3) interactions between different institutions’ ways of working, and (4) new interdisciplinary ways of thinking/writing about children, youth and families.  Professor Claire Freeman (University of Otago) will be giving a keynote address. 

Details of how to register for the conference can be found here.
