Students are provided with practical strategies to help navigate participatory research projects. -- Niamh O'BrienDirk Schubotz′s book is impressive. He reveals theoretical, historical and ethical backgrounds of participatory approaches to research and his book is also useful in terms of practice. You can feel the author′s strong empirical background involving children and young people as subjects in research projects. A strong parol for understanding research as practice of mutual understanding, collective action and social change. -- Timo AckermannWhat a fantastic book!
