Ethical and Political Dimensions of Research With Children and Young People

This chapter examines the ethical and political dimensions that underpin innovative research involving children and young people. Drawing on a synthesis of recent literature, it interrogates how adultism, power asymmetries, and colonial epistemologies shape research design, participation, and knowledge production in childhood studies. The chapter foregrounds children's agency and political subjecthood, arguing that truly ethical research transcends procedural compliance to embrace rights-based and anti-adultist frameworks. It explores researcher positionality and reflexivity as non-negotiable practices, addresses the decolonization of participatory methodologies, and critically analyzes how meaningful informed consent can be reimagined for young participants.
