Annotation

The paper presents four main points of view on children's positions in childhood research as outlined by P. Christensen and A. Prout (the child as an object, subject, social actor, co-investigator). The paper argues that these positions (roles) of children in childhood researches should be seen as co-existing rather than mutually exclusive.
