Abstract

This paper offers a conceptualization of the types of methods that are suitable for use with young children and a framework of six steps for engaging young children in research. This framework, and a compendium of creative methods, was built through collaboration with a team of international researchers funded by the Bernard van Leer Foundation (Johnson, Hart, & Colwell, 2014a and b). The framework addresses key issues facing researchers wishing to engage young children in research processes and offers ways to overcome some of the challenges researchers may face. A selection of case studies is offered to show how experts working from a wide range of international contexts have worked with children. Examples have been selected for their particular relevance to geographers working with children.
