Faglig innhold
The course provides insights into different epistemological orientations that contextualize and inform approaches in research with children and on childhood. The course focuses on how to reflect critically on the relationship between the purpose of a study and the theoretical and methodological choices that arise in a research process. The course has a particular emphasis on qualitative methodologies, ethnographic fieldwork, and children as research participants. The course explores the interconnection between how children are understood as subjects of research, and how researchers formulate research questions, prepare an empirical inquiry, generate data, interpret and analyse data, and produce academic texts. The course aims to develop students' reflexivity and qualify them to make informed decisions when undertaking research in childhood studies.
