“Studying children’s media practices: methodological and ethical challenges” is the title of the paper presented by Sara Pereira, in co-authorship with Margarida Toscano, at the Media and Pubics Conference that took place at the University of Roskilde, Denmark, on April 28-29, 2022.
Focused on the reflection and analysis of the publics transformed by the emergence of digital media, which resulted in different types of emitting publics and counter-publics, this conference sought to debate how the datafication of society affects the formation and development of publics and how these developments can be conceptualized and empirically investigated.
The communication of the byou project intended to reflect on the methodological and ethical challenges facing the study of children and young people as media publics, bringing to the center of the discussion the tension between the right to participation, enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the regulation and regulations that constrain and limit this right.
