Problem
Consider your memories here - how do you remember conceiving your rights as a child? Did you have an awareness of your rights? Or did you assume they were just there?
Assume the role of a child advocate and consider the question from your text, Do notions about childhood enable or hinder children's agency, will, logic, or reason?
As an advocate and researcher in childhood studies, you are interested in looking at this question (above) about children's agency. Review the chapter (again) and select what interests you most. Then, establish a research question and define your population (age, gender, race, nationality). Do you want to conduct a larger project on trends and characteristics of your population based on something mentioned in the chapter, like safe sex education or Rights as defined by the UNCRC? Or would you prefer to engage in a smaller research project that closely examines participants in these groups? How will you conduct this research? How will you collect your data? What may some of the challenges be with a study on this topic?
