This book features interviews with 19 scholars who do research with children in a variety of contexts. It examines how these key scholars address research 'after the child' by exploring the opportunities and challenges of drawing on posthumanist and materialist methodologies that unsettle humanist research practices.

The book reflects on how posthumanist and materialist approaches have informed research in relation to de-centering the child, re-thinking methodological concepts of voice, agency, data, analysis and representation. It also explores what the future of research after the child might entail and offers suggestions to new and emerging scholars involved in research with children.

Reviewing how posthumanist and materialist approaches have informed authors' thinking about children, research and knowledge production, the book will appeal to graduate students and emerging scholars in the field of childhood studies who wish to experiment with posthumanistmethodologies and materialist approaches.

Uses accessible language and an engaging interview format featuring 19 key and emerging scholars from various parts of the world who conduct research with children Includes critical discussions on current methodological and ontological issues related to research with children Offers diverse perspectives on research methodology with children for graduate students and scholars interested in learning more about post humanist and new materialist methodologies
