[ecrea] call for questions for our off-year conference - Accessing, Capturing and Interpreting Young People's Voices

CALL FOR QUESTIONS

Accessing, Capturing and Interpreting Young People's Voices:
a Reflexive Workshop on Creative, Visual and Ethically-Informed Methods 
and Approaches in a Connected World
3 of September 2015, 09.30-17.00h, Westminster University, London

This workshop will be hosted by the University of Westminster in 
association with ECREA, and precedes the conference “Comparing 
Children’s Media around the World: Policies, Texts and Audiences to be 
held on Westminster University on September 4th.

As researchers studying children, youth and media, we are constantly 
searching for better ways to access, capture and interpret young 
people’s voices. This journey requires an open, yet critical, attitude 
to ‘new’ methods and perspectives, and is often accompanied with 
practical, ethical and other struggles.

In this one-day workshop, we focus on various challenging methods, such 
as creative, visual research methods with children, and child-led 
research. We will also exchange experiences on ethnographic research 
with children and focus on lessons learned from “failures” in research 
with young people.

For the roundtables we are inviting YOU, as researchers, to share the 
methodological issues that you are facing in your research design and/or 
practicalities of doing research with children and youth. In exchanging 
stories of what worked well and what did not, what the unsuccessful 
methods were, or when you decided it was time to re-organize your 
research design, we can learn from each other. It is equally important 
to learn how you piloted, which successful turns your research took, and 
why some methods worked better than others. The roundtable sets out to 
grow together, under the safe and constructive auspices of the ECREA 
Children, Youth and Media community.

Please submit your experiences, stories and questions to: 
(conceicao.costa /at/ ulusofona.pt) no later than 20th July.

If many questions are submitted, the workshop organizers will make a 
selection. The accepted questions will be known by 15th August on the 
Comparing Children’s Media around the World: Policies, Texts and 
Audiences conference website.

For the YECREA call for participants please submit your abstracts of max 
250 words to the YECREA representatives of the TWG, Jane Fleischer 
((jane.fleischer /at/ th-nuernberg.de) ) and Philip Sinner 
((philip.sinner /at/ sbg.ac.at) ), before July 15th, 2015. We will get back to 
you with information on acceptance of papers and with a preliminary 
programme on August 1st, 2015.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The registration fee of 25 GBP includes lunch and coffee breaks. 
Registration and payment will take place via the University of 
Westminster in tandem with the Comparing Children’s Media around the 
World: Policies, Texts and Audiences conference.


The Chair of TWG Children, Youth and Media,

Sonia Livingstone
