“…A wearable camera operates as an extension of children's bodily movement (Caton & Hackett, 2019). This allows such cameras to help us see and listen close to the children's moving bodies (Rotas, 2019). These cameras, as an apparatus, simultaneously serve as a performative agent, with its own agency (Barad, 2007).…”

The authors explore how multiple viewpoints can challenge our habitualised way of viewing and expand the area of thinking about children’s outdoor learning. They draw on micro-fieldwork in a Sámi kindergarten in Arctic Norway. There, learning through participation and practical experiences is a traditional strategy in child rearing. This method of learning is currently being transformed in Sámi kindergartens, wherein the goal is to strengthen the Sámi language, identity and culture. The authors’ aim is to explore how learning through participation in pedagogical practices could be made visible by employing different viewpoints. They used GoPro® cameras worn on children’s bodies, combined with their own gaze, as well as a handheld video camera used by one of the authors. Such a combination of viewpoints allowed gaining an insight into the complex outdoor kindergarten practices. Drawing on Jayne White’s polyphonic dialogical approach to video, the authors placed these diverse viewpoints in a dialogue during the process of analysis. These dialogues revealed our pre-defined human-centric view and effected a change in our theoretical approach, from socio-cultural learning theories to new materialist theories, to include the premise that children learn in all interactions and entanglements that they are part of in a socio-material world.

“…Moving away from following the human only through, and enabled by, technology, opens possibilities for what some claim is a flat(ter) ontology (Rotas, 2019). Inclusion of the nonhuman creates new main 'characters' as part of the research datapreviously overlooked when transferring observation into written words that represent or stand for the world that is represented.…”

Navigating the Postqualitative, New Materialist and Critical Posthumanist Terrain Across Disciplines

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter examines the implications for conceptualising, composing and structuring a postqualitative research project with video and sound. To do so, the authors challenge philosophically, politically and methodologically the mainstream ideas about how video in research works. The chapter starts with a brief detour to explore how the historical entanglement between art and science might inspire ways that postqualitative research could trouble the concept of representation in research, which lies constantly beneath the surface when video and sound technology is integrated into research practices. Demonstrated through a range of examples of research practices embracing moving images and sounds differently, this chapter offers a taste of what postqualitative research with sonic and visual technology could entail. Key questions are discussed, such as what comes into focus when paying attention to the material and the nonhuman through video and sound, and what ontological shift this technology allows or promotes. The role of sound is given special attention as an example of readjusting what is heard (and valued as worth hearing) when analysing research data. The aims of the chapter, with its examples and suggested activities, is to excite and inspire researchers to reanimate and re-imagine research with video and sound.

“…Participatory methods are those most well-known to child researchers. When used in child and youth research, these methods often include various techniques such as photovoice, digital archives, or poster-making (Mitchell, 2011;Nguyen, 2016;Rotas, 2019). Young people in participatory research can be reframed as the researchers, taking part in different parts of the research process, including the design and analysis (Alderson, 2008;Kellett et al, 2004).…”

Rural Young People’s Experiences Through the COVID-19 Pandemic: Struggles, Support and a Way Forward for Young People’s Mental Health and Well-being

The novel coronavirus pandemic in Canada has increased attention and concern paid to young people's well-being and mental health. Narratives of isolation, exacerbated inequalities, and potential unequal recovery for young people, in particular, have been presented as a result of school closures across the country. Through these narratives, young people are framed as vulnerable, passive recipients of adult decisions and interpretations of their experiences. This research examines these narratives by conducting ethnographic fieldwork with a group of young people living in a rural Ontario town through the pandemic. This thesis presents and analyzes these young people's experiences of the pandemic related to mental health and well-being to reveal the missing nuances of adult narratives and to propose suggestions for future inclusive, accessible, rights-respecting programs for young people's mental health and well-being post-pandemic based on young people's accounts.
