Book excerpt: "Written in an inviting and conversational style, this text introduces foundational research methods for the study and practice of child and youth care, aiming to awaken a lifelong interest in how research can inform, improve, and evoke critical reflection on what child and youth care is, and can be, about. The text builds basic practical research skills, such as how to conduct interviews and focus groups, construct research questions and surveys, recruit research subjects, collect and analyze data, and select qualitative and quantitative research designs to best serve each project. Drawing all its examples from the field of child and youth care and written from an explicitly anti-racist perspective, the text covers the intersections of research and advocacy work and includes a chapter dedicated to Afrocentric and Indigenous research approaches."--
