The Committee on Research and Ethics for the Children and Youth Section was established Summer 2015 by then-section chair Allison Pugh. This committee originated in a working group that included Allison Pugh, Melissa Swauger (inaugural committee chair), Ingrid E. Castro (founding committee member), and Brent Harger (founding committee member). The four members of the working group came together Spring 2015 to construct briefing papers on the status of researching children. In these short documents, we explored navigating ethical issues such as consent/assent, confidentiality and anonymity, power structures, and dissemination of data. These papers also made recommendations on guidelines for conducting ethical research with children and youth. Ultimately, these papers became the foundation for and were distributed at the 2015 ASA Workshop Navigating IRB Approval for Studies of Vulnerable Populations: The Case of Children and Youth.
The workshop was well attended, and break-out groups addressing a variety of issues surrounding ethical research with children and youth were fruitful. After the session, Ingrid E. Castro proposed that the book series Sociological Studies of Children and Youth would be the best way to bring together the various ideas that emerged from the briefing papers and workshop. Fall 2015, the founding members of the new Committee on Research and Ethics put together a book proposal for Emerald Press. The proposal was accepted and the volume Researching Children and Youth: Methodological Issues, Strategies, and Innovations will be published in February 2017. In next steps, the Committee on Research and Ethics for ASA’s Children and Youth Section aims to put together a virtual library, where links for books and articles will be provided for access by the section’s members. A work very early in progress, we hope to supply our section’s members with a comprehensive reference list for use in future sociological research projects on children and youth.
