Can young people be empowered through academic research?
The conventional academic response to this type of question is to consider ways of including young people as active participants in a research project, for example by asking them to take part in focus groups, provide feedback, involve their peers and so on. But processes like that still put them in a secondary role, as helpers or assistants to a research project owned, managed and run by adults and professionals such as academics.
