This edited collection assembles a groundbreaking series of chapters from childhood and youth scholars investigating the ethical, political, and transformative possibilities that creative methodologies can bring to the field of gender and sexuality research.
Drawing on original empirical studies from a diverse array of international and transnational projects, contributors illustrate how they draw upon arts-based research and a wide range of creative methods, from body sculptures to zine-making, to engage children and young people at every stage of the research process, from a project’s conception to its communication with diverse audiences. Each chapter foregrounds a particular method, and the central thread running through the book focuses on how gender and sexuality research with children and young people is configured, conducted and carries what matters into the world, when creativity is centred in the research process. As a collection, it will address the generative tensions and advantages of working creatively across various methods, disciplines and contexts.
The book will be of great interest to international audiences of academic scholars and students interested in arts-based and creative methods in diverse fields, including social research methods, childhood and youth studies, sociology of education, gender and sexuality studies, and queer studies, as well as practitioners, policy makers, and artists interested in advancing their creative work on gender and sexualities in childhood and youth.
