Comment on Performativity of children in spaces of play by Julia Truscott

Julia Truscott — Thu, 18 Apr 2019 15:31:02 +0000

One way to approach this might be to begin by finding a group of children who know one another and who are comfortable with you (such as through your siblings or your work). You would then need to approach the parents / guardians and the children about your research and seek their consent for you to observe them at play. initially the children might not play naturally. Over time though, they would likely become used to your presence and their play would become more natural. You might also consider combining this with a more participatory approach, where the children offer insights or co-research alongside you.
