  • Child as Method

    Open Access•Noomi Matthiesen, E Burman•ARTICLE•Qualitative Studies•2026

    This interview is a slightly modified transcript from the fifth Psyche Talk, hosted at the Department of Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University, October 22, 2025. Psyche Talks are hosted as biannual events, where prominent psychological researchers are invited to discuss fundamental questions about the nature and subject matter of psychology through an interview-based format. The focus of this interview is on Child as Method and how i…

  • Rearticulating Nationalist Maternalism in and Against Global Child Rights Discourse – A Child as Method Analysis

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•NORA - Nordic Journal of Feminist…•2026•References: 3

    This paper focuses on a particular case of contested child custody between a mother and the Norwegian state that became a transnational cause célèbre in 2011 and more recently the subject of a Hindi language film (Mrs Chatterjee vs. Norway, directed by Ashima Chibber, Zee Studios 2023). Using this example to explore Nordic parenting, a key interpretive frame is identified: Child as method. Using this, discourses of gender, class/caste, culture, f…

  • Antisemitism and Racism: Ethical Challenges for Psychoanalysis

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•Psychoanalysis Culture & Society•2025•References: 3

    This book's stated rationale is that there has never been a more urgent moment to attempt to build or rebuild the alliance between Jews and Black people in opposing racism and antisemitism.An important part of that project is understanding the complex but intertwined as well as allied relations between antisemitism and racism, as well as -and as part of -the role of psychoanalysis.Frosh lays out the problem at the outset: 'alliances are essential…

  • Beyond the “Child Mental Health Crisis” and Covid-19: An Intersectional, Transgenerational Analysis of Racism and Oppression

    Open Access•Artemis Christinaki, E Burman et al.•ARTICLE•Feminism & Psychology•2025•References: 12

    This article engages with issues arising from a 2021–2022 project consulting with Pakistani heritage-identifying adults in an economically deprived British town, Rochdale, to document and communicate their needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. While our original research brief reflected local and national government concerns around the “child mental health crisis,” matters affecting educational practices and other support provisions for children em…

  • Colonization, complicity and resistance: A Fanonian discussion of the ‘Soldier Matrix

    Addressing concerns around positioning, (un)knowing, and action in relation to current geopolitical events, specifically the current Middle East context, this article offers some speculative analyses from my own perspective as a UK-based Jewish group analyst. Retracing the trajectory of my associative process, it considers sociocultural as well as individual defensive processes at play in remembering and responding to both past and current existe…

    Open Access•Luan Carpes Barros Cassal, Artemis Christinaki et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Studies ↔ Critical…•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 7

    Child as method is a critical and interdisciplinary approach interrogating figurations of childhood that engage, organize, justify (and perhaps even resist) sociopolitical processes. In this article, we start by presenting Child as method as a conceptual and methodological tool for critical research in childhood, education, and psychological studies and then show how it informed discussions of and about childhood in two different projects. The fi…

  • Child as Method: Othering, Interiority and Materialism

    E Burman•BOOK•Child as Method•2024

    In this vital volume, Erica Burman presents a synthesis of her work developed over the past decade. Building from her path-breaking critiques of developmental psychology to the strategy of plural developments, her more recent work elaborates a new approach, generated from postcolonial, feminist intersectionality and migration studies: Child as method. This text amplifies the Child as method’s success as a distinct way of exploring the alignments …

  • Fanon, temporality and pedagogy: Combatting racist (non-)relationalities of self and other

    This article addresses relations between concepts of ‘self’, ‘other(s)’ and ‘othering’ through a reading of the revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon’s psychoaffective phenomenological and pedagogical narrative approach, reading his work as phenomenological and educational as well as critiquing phenomenology, psychology, educa invites renewed attention to the geopolitical tion and (of course) psychiatry. While most—especially educational—commen…

  • Child as method and/as childism: Conceptual–political intersections and tensions

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•Children & Society•2023

    This article considers the related projects of child as method and childism, as two critical childhood projects attempting to re‐engage childhood studies with wider geopolitical arenas. Firstly, each model's origins in their respective subject discipline are discussed, to, secondly, highlight how this shapes convergences as well as divergences in political project. Third, there is consideration of what is at stake in key conceptual tensions ident…

  • Child as Method as an Intersectional Frame for Conceptualising the Geopolitics of Child Rights

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•The International Journal of…•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 17

    In this paper I discuss an approach I have termed, “Child as method”, which I suggest provides some useful perspectives on child rights debates and concerns, specifically in connecting these with the realm of the geopolitical and, beyond that, insisting on how such connections deepens understanding of their significance. Building on previous work examining the relations and “translation” processes between global and local in the (re)formulation a…

  • Post‐socialist geopolitical uncertainties: Researching memories of childhood with ‘child as method’

    Open Access•E Burman, Z Millei•ARTICLE•Children & Society•2022

    This article engages continuing discussions in childhood studies on (re)inserting the study of childhood into wider socio‐political matrices of power and practices. We present as a potent analytical strategy to do this work ‘child as method’, developed by one of the authors. After describing ‘child as method’, we draw on the Recollect / Reconnect project, in which scholars and artists who grew up during the last decades of the Cold War recalled t…

  • Frantz Fanon and revolutionary group praxis

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•Group Analysis•2021

    Frantz Fanon was a political revolutionary, and he remains a key intellectual figure in decolonization debates and postcolonial studies. He was also a psychiatrist, continuing to practice, teach and explore new forms of community mental health and groupwork even in exile. In this talk, I explore convergences between Fanon’s institutional psychotherapy and group analysis, alongside his other commitments, to indicate how Fanon’s geopolitically-situ…

  • Developments: Child, Image, Nation

    E Burman•BOOK•Developments•2020

    How does developmental psychology connect with (what used to be called) the developing world? What do cultural representations indicate about the contemporary politics of childhood? How is concern about child sexual exploitation linked to wider securitization anxieties? In other words: what is the political economy of childhood, and how is this affectively organized? This new edition of Developments: Child, Image, Nation, fully updated, is a key …

  • Brexit, “child as method,” and the pedagogy of failure: How discourses of childhood structure the resistance of racist discourse to analysis

    Octave Mannoni's (1969/2003) essay, “I know well, but all the same”, identifies how cultural pedagogies involving the deception of children underlie adherence to socially shared convictions that are recognised to be untrue, so illuminating how racist discourse works and accounting for its deniability and (paradoxical) persistence. Mannoni's methods and argument are applied to contemporary illustrations of racism and nationalism - specifically, di…

    This paper advances an approach, ‘child as method’, as a resource for interrogating models of development in childhood and education. Kuan-Hsing Chen’s (2010) book Asia as method has generated interest across childhood and educational studies. Here ‘child as method’ is presented as a related intervention. Just as Asia as method (re)considers the status of the national and transnational, so ‘child as method’ helps explicate the ways ‘child’ and ‘d…

  • Fanon, Foucault, feminisms: Psychoeducation, theoretical psychology, and political change

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•Theory & Psychology•2016

    In this article I juxtapose three critical resources for theoretical psychology: Fanon, Foucault, and feminisms. While the primary focus is on Fanon, some shared methodological assumptions—arising from the influence of Marxism and psychoanalysis on all three—are noted, albeit giving rise to mutual tensions. I then apply this critical frame to a close reading of a clinical case discussed by Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth. As a psychiatrist, bu…

    E Burman•ARTICLE•Race Ethnicity and Education•2016•Cited by: 1•References: 17

    Discussions of the writings of theorist, psychiatrist and revolutionary, Frantz Fanon, in the fields of education and childhood typically focus on his account of a traumatic encounter with a white child, whose fear at the sight of a black man is said to create a vilified, racialised identity and installs an irreversible social and corporeal alienation. Yet Fanon’s writings include a range of other depictions of children, childhood and education w…

  • Fanon and the child: Pedagogies of subjectification and transformation

    E Burman•ARTICLE•Curriculum Inquiry•2016•Cited by: 11•References: 32

    Frantz Fanon's analysis of colonial experience has widely influenced educational theory and practice. Yet, despite much focus on the gendered and sexed dynamics of racialization processes, and their applications to the dynamics in particular of teaching and learning, surprisingly little attention has been given to how these intersect both with generational relations and the models of children/childhood on which his account relies. In this paper, …

    In this paper I explore the emotional interests maintained by the imagery of children used in Third World emergencies. Boundaries between adult and child are reproduced through relations of paternalism between North and South, such that the infantilisation of the South exemplified in imagery of children works to secure the competence and maturity of the Northern donor.

  • Beyond 'Women vs. Children' or 'WomenandChildren: Engendering Childhood and Reformulating Motherhood

    The child rights movement has typically fallen foul of both feminists and antifeminists in its renderings of the relations between women and children. This article attempts to move the debate forward to consider the relations between women's rights and children's rights as neither adversarial, nor equivalent, but as allied – albeit as necessarily structured in tension and contest. It illuminates why and how such a situation has arisen, and identi…

  • Feminism and Discourse in Developmental Psychology: Power, Subjectivity and Interpretation

    The meeting of feminism with post-structuralism has brought issues of multiplicity of meanings to the fore. However, attention to difference threatens to disperse politics. This paper explores how these issues are played out in developmental psychological research. The concerns of feminist research with issues of reciprocity, consultation and accountability challenge developmental research conducted within the structural power relations of adult-…

    This paper addresses implications for psychological therapies and practices of recognizing the varieties of ways 'race' and gender intersect and impact on therapeutic relationships. We illustrate how 'race' and gender have either eluded analysis or been treated in oversimplified ways that disallow their interchange and varieties of forms, and impoverish the recognition and process of therapeutic change. Debates about 'race' and gender in psychoth…

While this scene has been much discussed, the role accorded the child in this has attracted little…

  • Minding the Gap: Positivism, Psychology, and the Politics of Qualitative Methods

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•1997

    This article explores the politics and practices of qualitative research, in particular by interrogating the “gap” between qualitative and quantitative approaches to research. Two main claims are elaborated: first, that despite being recommended on grounds of ethical superiority (such as of nonmanipulation and instrumentality), qualitative research is not immune from such problems and may indeed harbor its own practices of exploitation; second, a…

  • Psychology: Market, Metaphor and Metamorphosis

    Open Access•E Burman•ARTICLE•Culture & Psychology•1997•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    This paper explores tensions within the notion of the metaphor of production as illuminating features of the market of, and for, psychology. In particular it highlights problems with the distinction between producer and consumer set up by the production metaphor. It also considers how this applies to process of conceptualizing psychology's concepts as well as their effects, and the cultural specificities covertly maintained within psychology's ap…

  • Disciplinary apprentices: ‘Qualitative methods’ in student psychological research

    E Burman•ARTICLE•International Journal of Social…•1998•Cited by: 3•References: 17

    This paper addresses implications for psychological therapies and practices of recognizing the varieties of ways 'race' and gender intersect and impact on therapeutic relationships. We illustrate how 'race' and gender have either eluded analysis or been treated in oversimplified ways that disallow their interchange and varieties of forms, and impoverish the recognition and process of therapeutic change. Debates about 'race' and gender in psychoth…

  • Keeping and Crossing Professional and Racialized Boundaries: Implications for Feminist Practice

    Open Access•Gill Aitken, E Burman•ARTICLE•Psychology of Women Quarterly•1999•Cited by: 9•References: 7

    In this article we reflect on the process of a white woman researching a Black woman's experiences of engaging in clinical psychology services. This involved interviewing both a Black woman client and her white woman therapist four times over an 11-month therapy period. We discuss issues of identifications and relationships, the interface between research and therapy, and professional and ethical responsibilities of disclosures arising from this …
