Mixed Methods in Youth Research
Helve, Helena (ed.)

Mixed Methods in Youth Research provides a stimulating overview of rich subject area of youth studies. Bringing together authors from different countries, this book combines assessments of the methodology and practice of youth research with an assortment of perspectives on the evolution of distinctive forms of youth research.

The chapters here are intended to promote inter-cultural understanding and cross-fertilization among the different theoretical, substantive and methodological perspectives in the field. Together, they are intended as a resource, in a non-traditional sense, for students and faculty in youth research. Those who are new to youth studies will gain a solid grounding in the field, as well as some historical perspective regarding its methodology, through these explorations of the subject. Seasoned veterans in the field, on the other hand, will pick up new ideas here as to how to address methodological problems - how to approach and attempt to build an understanding of young people.
