Race, Gender and Critical Reflexivity in Research with Young Children
Abstract
This chapter focuses on some of the ways in which race and gender can impact upon research with young children. It provides a critically reflexive account of a previous ethnographic study I conducted in a multi-ethnic, inner-city primary school in England that examined the peer cultures of 5-6-year-old children and the place of race and gender within these (see Connolly 1998). The arguments presented in this chapter are built upon three core premises. While each of these premises is well recognized and accepted, it will be shown in this chapter that, when they are drawn together, they offer a new and important way of understanding the power dynamics that underpin research with young children.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
