‘You Know What They Know’- An Autoethnography of Working with Child Participants

Author(s) Anavila Lochan

Abstract The present study explores the experiential avenues of working with children as research participants through a critical lens. Using the qualitative method of autoethnography, the article captures the unique characteristics of working with children in research given the socio-political contexts of adult-child interactions. The thematic descriptions resulting from analyzing extensive field notes and anecdotes from the experience as a researcher try to highlight the challenges faced during the process. The study challenges adult-centric assumptions, and suggests strategies that lead to more effective and relevant policies and interventions. Including children’s perspectives also fosters their sense of agency, reduces power imbalances, and captures the diversity of their experiences.
