Abstract

This chapter reflects back on my experiences of doing research with and for children alongside considerations of participatory methods and approaches to research, care ethics and researching with care, and social acceleration theory. In bringing these considerations together, it argues for the explicit articulation of time considerations as ethical considerations and for a research praxis informed by care ethics.
