Childhood 2050 Seminar series
Seminar 1: online research with children and young people
Wednesday, 24th February 2021, 13:30-15:00 (UK time)
This seminar will explore some of the practical and ethical considerations of doing online research with children and young people. There may be diverse reasons for doing online research with children – not only related to the current Covid pandemic – and the three speakers in this seminar will provide reflections on their own experiences of such research. There will be three 15-minute talks followed by up to 45 minutes of questions and discussion. We hope that this seminar will be informative and useful to anyone considering online research with children and young people.
