Jayne Osgood is Professor of Education at Middlesex University, UK. She is Editor of the Gender and Education journal and co-series editor, with Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw, of the Feminist Thought in Childhood Research series, published by Bloomsbury.

[This book] pushes the boundaries of early childhood research taking a fresh look at how we research with and about child development. The examples from real world research affords readers the opportunity to see how postdevelopmental approaches to observation, as a research method, may be applied to their own work. The authors embrace the move away from traditional research methods, and place a spotlight on children’s participation and agency in research, this is an excellent addition to the research canon.
