Conducting research with young people at the margins – lessons learnt and shared through case studies in Cambodia, India, Sweden and Zambia
Building on the value of engaging with and enabling the participation of marginalised young people in research, the aim of this article was to profile practical and procedural issues faced when conducting studies with young people who experience some form of marginalisation. Drawing on observations...
