Learning with country, rewriting care: Indigenous epistemologies and kinship care
This article develops a decolonial sociological framework grounded in Indigenous epistemologies and demonstrates its significance through kinship care. The framework brings together five commitments: relational ontology; Country and place-based epistemology; collective responsibility and kinship governance; Indigenous sovereignty over knowledge and data; and relational accountability in research and practice. Rather than supplementing established…
What Risk and Protective Factors Influence the Relationship Between Child Sexual Abuse Disclosure and Suicidal Behaviours? A Scoping Review of the Literature
This scoping review examined risk and protective factors that influence the relationship between disclosure of child sexual abuse and suicidal thoughts or behaviours. While child sexual abuse is a well-established risk factor for suicidality, disclosure experiences and suicide risk remain underexplored. Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s method of scoping, a systematic search of Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus was conducted for English-languag…
‘Our Home Holiday Town’: Youth participatory research for ethical and responsible tourism
This article explores the role of children and young people as change agents in promoting ethical and responsible tourism at the local level. Drawing on a youth participatory research project that used social theatre as a medium of inquiry and advocacy, the study explores how young participants navigated roles as researchers, educators, and activists. Informed by Freirean pedagogy and childist principles, the research contributes to broader discu…
The Human Rights Challenges Experienced by Queer Youth in Out-of-Home Care: A Systematic Scoping Review
The human rights challenges faced by Queer youth in out-of-home care (OOHC), such as foster and residential care, have largely been overlooked in child protection research, policy, and practice development. This systematic scoping review aims to identify and synthesize the existing international, English-language, empirical research documenting the human rights challenges experienced by Queer youth in OOHC systems. This review followed the Joanna…
How Children and Young People Disclose That They Have Been Sexually Abused: Perspectives From Victims and Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
Child sexual abuse is a pervasive social and public health concern with high social and economic costs. Children and young people who experience this form of abuse are in danger of serious, ongoing impacts on their development, functioning and overall life trajectory as a result of the lasting influence of complex trauma. The recent research, drawing from young adult self‐reports, has found that more than one in three girls and almost one in five…
Young people’s lived experience of relational practices in therapeutic residential care in Australia
Reflections of 'Doing' Research that Involves Trauma: A Methodological Guide and Framework for Researchers
This paper examines the experiences of four researchers engaged in a study with young people residing in therapeutic residential care facilities in an Australian state. These young people, often under 18 years of age, have complex needs stemming from experiences of abuse, neglect, or family breakdown. We explore the challenges, ethical considerations, and personal impact of conducting this trauma-intensive research through a collaborative and ref…
How is therapeutic residential care constructed within key policy documents
Therapeutic residential care (TRC) is a mode of delivering out‐of‐home care (OOHC) that can help meet the needs of some of Australia's most vulnerable young people and their families. TRC programmes aim to support young people to develop positive relationship experiences in a safe and stable environment. Given that TRC is a relatively new model of intervention, to date, the alignment between its aspirational aims and the existing and evolving pol…
Reimagining children’s participation: A child rights informed approach to social justice in tourism
Children's historical marginalisation largely grounded in deeply entrenched assumptions about their status as citizens, including the legitimacy of their views on matters central to their wellbeing, is now well argued. As a result, they have often been gate-kept out of research, policy, and practice spheres, including those related to tourism. This limits their potential to address the injustices they often experience, many of which are amplified…
Promoting students’ safety and wellbeing: Ethical practice in schools
Although ‘child safety’ is now a national policy priority in Australia, there is little research exploring the practices in schools that contribute to children and young people’s felt sense of safety and wellbeing. Drawing on a mixed-method Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery project, this article presents findings from interviews with school staff ( N = 10), leaders ( N = 5) and nine focus groups with students ( N = 58), in primary and s…
Child‐safe organizations and the ethics of empowered inclusion
The emergence of the ‘child‐safe’ organization requires close attention to practices that contribute to children's wellbeing and safety. Based on data collected in schools, residential care and disability services, this article argues for a more nuanced understanding of the ethical frameworks informing practice in these settings. Findings suggest both young people and adults predominantly describe ethical practice in terms of intersubjective rela…
Beyond marginalisation: Cultivating care by leaning into the voices of young advocates
The aim of our analysis is to give voice to young change agents in tourism host communities. Drawing on a braided narrative analysis, we present the narratives of three young people engaged in advocacy work in three different countries. Our analysis is emergent from research with rather than on young people across three countries on three different continents (Canada, Australia, and Scotland). Our analysis explores the nexus between two foundatio…
Ethical Practice in Disability Services: Views of Young People and Staff
In recent years there has been increased focus on supporting the safety and wellbeing of children and young people with disability. This paper reports on a study that asked children and young people with disability and adults who work with them about practices that support their wellbeing and safety, including barriers and enablers to ethical practice. We used the theory of practice architectures to unpack the practices. Findings point to a range…
Children’s Rights in the Tourism Industry
This article maps and critically discusses the intersection of childhood, human rights and tourism in scholarly research. Findings reveal this area of scholarship has received little attention beyond “adultist” and “protectionist” approaches, which construct children as too vulnerable to participate in tourism research, policy and practice. Through a systematic scoping review of relevant peer-reviewed scholarly articles, we argue for more child-c…
Progressing children’s rights and participation: Utilising rights‐informed resources to guide policy and practice
Social policy in Australia and internationally, that is focused on improving children's safety and well‐being, increasingly makes implicit or explicit reference to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Concomitantly, children and young people's participation is more widely acknowledged as being key to ensuring policies, programmes and services reflect their views and lived experience. The non‐government sector, along with stat…
Children and safety in Australian policy: Implications for organisations and practitioners
Child safety is now a national policy priority in Australia. Extensive enquiries and reviews have escalated legislative and policy responses focused on developing, maintaining and monitoring “child safe” organisations. The recommendations of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse point to the importance of cultural conditions within organisations in supporting child safety and the need for responsive change in som…
Reclaiming place in a tourist town’: Preliminary findings from a social theatre research project run by young people during Covid-19
The study presents findings on young people’s experiences during a pandemic. • Participatory social theatre is employed as a creative methodology. • Young co-researchers living in a host community express their connection to place. • Reclaiming place has provoked a desire for more socially and environmentally just tourism. • Co-researching is presented as an emancipatory method in tourism research
Young people’s understandings and attitudes towards marine debris: A systematic scoping review
This paper reports on the findings of a systematic and rigorous scoping review of all relevant peer-reviewed literature published up until April 2020 focused on young people’s understandings and attitudes towards marine debris. The review of relevant literature reveals there are only limited peer-reviewed studies that engage with the issues of marine pollution from a child’s or young person’s perspective (n = 20). Findings show that the studies w…
Urban vibes in a rural setting: A study of the bush doof scene in Byron Shire
The purpose of this article is to consider the politico-cultural significance of the Australian ‘bush-doof’ for contemporary youth. The bush-doof is a localised form of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) party held in a bushland setting. It is argued that the bush doof provides a space for young people to reject forms of commoditised and over-regulated night-time leisure associated with (semi)urban environments. Associated with this is an expression of…
Growing up in a tourist destination: Developing an environmental sensitivity
This paper explores how the socio-cultural milieu of a community may foster a sense of environmental stewardship among children and young people. Ethnographic fieldwork, carried out in a popular tourist destination in Australia, revealed that the overt impacts of tourism activity such as littering provoke negative feelings among children and young people; these perceptions can in turn translate into a sensitivity towards the environment. While de…
Child safety in policy: Who is being kept safe and from what
Keeping children safe from harm is a national policy priority in Australia. Extensive inquiries and reviews have highlighted institutions' persistent failures to respond ethically and appropriately to child abuse and its life‐long impacts on survivors. Policy efforts now reflect considerable emphasis on safeguarding children, including through the development of ‘child safe’ organisations. The realisation of these policy aspirations requires clos…
Tracing the contribution of childhood studies: Maintaining momentum while navigating tensions
Over recent decades, the evolving field of childhood studies has contributed significantly to the theorisation of childhood and to research seeking to understand children's lives and experiences in different contexts. This article traces some of the key theoretical developments within childhood studies by means of a scoping study of peer-reviewed, scholarly journals and books published between 2010 and 2018. The aim of the review was to explore t…
Generation Y and protected areas: A scoping study of research, theory, and future directions
Over the past two decades, there has been anecdotal reporting of declines in young people’s engagement with natural environments. This article focuses on Generation Y, also commonly referred to as the Millennials. Through a scoping study of published research to 2017, we explore how Generation Y experiences, views, and is influenced by natural areas of high conservation value. A key finding is that the body of empirical and theoretical research t…
Not victims nor zoo exhibits: The film My Long Neck and listening to the 'other
Shalom Almond's film My Long Neck is a gift to tourism scholars and teachers who want to raise social justice, social inclusion and empowerment in our work. Filmed in 2013 and resulting from the filmmaker's tourist visit to the Mae Hong Son area of Northern Thailand, this film turns the tables on understanding an area that has been subject to recent scrutiny as a site of 'human zoos'. The result is a documentary where the potential 'object' of th…

Growing up in a tourist destination: Negotiating space, identity and belonging
There is little research on children’s experiences of growing up in a popular tourist destination, where place and space are contested with visitors, migrants and temporary residents. Existing literature on young people’s experiences of their socio-spatial surroundings has focused predominantly on the rural/urban dichotomy, often neglecting to explore how identity and belonging are negotiated in complex community contexts such as tourist destinat…

The role of travel and mobility in processes of identity formation among the Positanesi
This article is based on an ethnographic study of the community of Positano on the Amalfi Coast in the south of Italy. It examines how the flows of visiting tourists have shaped the economy, lifestyle and rhythms of this small but world-famous tourist destination. Through visual imagery and narratives, I explore how residents of the community create meaningful identities amidst the continuous flux and flow of people arriving and departing. The ar…
