<i>‘This Handbook sets the agenda for the ‘reset’ of thinking about youth research sought by researchers, practitioners and by young people. Tackling equity and justice, politics and the political, health and wellbeing, contributors disrupt research convention and critique how conventional research practices make meaning and generate knowledge about young people.’</i>
- Johanna Wyn, The University of Melbourne, Australia,
<i>‘This is an important Research Handbook for all of those interested in the experiences of young people. One of its main strengths is its focus on diversity. It brings together contributions from: different parts of the world; different disciplines; different organisations – community groups and NGOs, not just universities; and young people themselves, as well as researchers.’</i>
