In recent decades, greater attention has been paid across policy, practice and research discourses to involving children more meaningfully and actively in decisions about theirparticipation in both formal and informal educational settings. The book's goal is to illustrate how researchers have systematically involved students in the pursuit of a richer understanding of educational experiences, policy and practice through the eyes and ears of young people, and through their own cultural lens.
