Recent articles by Kim and Hammersley have critiqued, respectively: the methodological and normative assumptions that underlie research ‘by’ children; claims made about the implications of children’s rights for the ethics of research with children; and more broadly, some of the central commitments of Childhood Studies. This paper offers a response to these critiques, seeking to distinguish between those that clearly should be accepted, those that appear to be based on a misreading of the claims being made by scholars and researchers, and those that represent serious challenges to defend, redefine or rethink our aims, claims or practices.

儿童主导的研究，儿童权利和儿童研究：防御

Kim和Hammersley最近发表的文章分别提出了批评：“儿童”研究基础的方法论和规范假设；关于儿童权利对儿童研究伦理的影响的主张；更广泛地讲，儿童研究的一些核心承诺。本文对这些批评提出了回应，力图区分那些显然应被接受的批评，那些似乎是基于对学者和研究人员提出的主张的错误理解的批评，以及那些代表着捍卫，重新定义或辩护的严峻挑战的批评。重新思考我们的目标，主张或做法。
