Sociologists, criminologists, and other social scientists explore some of the methodological issues, strategies, and innovations essential to conducting research with children and youth. During the past four decades, they say, theoretical constructions of childhood have positioned children as social actors, resulting in a growth of child-centered and youth-centered empirical research, a deepened understanding of ethical approaches, and a burst of innovative research methods. Among their topics are maneuvering the stormy waters of ethnography in an inner-city school: reflections from the field, researcher as college coach: dilemmas and possibilities in fieldwork with adolescents, sharpening theory and methodology to explore racialized youth peer cultures, and learning about inequality from kids: interviewing strategies for getting beneath equality rhetoric.
