Biography
Deborah Albon and Rachel Rosen are both Senior Lecturers in Early Childhood Studies at London Metropolitan University, UK.
'Thoughtful and provocative discussions addressing the ambiguity of consent in research and the risks and possibilities inherent in research relationships are provided in a manner not often found in the standard accounts of the ethical treatment of research participants. This book contributes to current debates about research with young children, offering an incisive and thorough exploration of the importance of relationships within the research process. It should be considered required reading for those interested in early childhood and research with children. Summing Up: Highly Recommended.' - R.B. Stewart Jr, Oakland University, in CHOICE, March 2014
