“…There is no one agreed-on or correct way to use terminology when writing about disability. Placing the noun children before disability is a signifier that the individual is a child first and foremost (Royea & Appl, 2009). Conversely, the term disabled children is more commonly used in the United Kingdom and in the field of disability studies.…”

There is a paucity of explicit literature outlining methods for single-interview studies with children, and almost none have focused on engaging children with disabilities. Drawing from a pilot study, we address these gaps by describing innovative techniques, strategies, and methods for engaging children and youth with disabilities in a single qualitative interview. In the study, we explored the beliefs, assumptions, and experiences of children and youth with cerebral palsy and their parents regarding the importance of walking. We describe three key aspects of our child-interview methodological approach: collaboration with parents, a toolkit of customizable interview techniques, and strategies to consider the power differential inherent in child-researcher interactions. Examples from our research illustrate what worked well and what was less successful. Researchers can optimize single interviews with children with disabilities by collaborating with family members and by preparing a toolkit of customizable interview techniques.

“…PreK-12 classroom teachers who are committed advocates work individually or collectively to promote and protect the interests of the education profession (Royea & Appl, 2009). Thus, it is essential that literacy teacher educators assume the role of advocate during their work in teacher education.…”

Literacy teacher educators play a pivotal role in developing future PreK-12 classroom teachers for the task of literacy leadership. However, little is known about literacy teacher educators and how they engage as literacy leaders. In the current study, we retrieved data from 132 literacy teacher educators and analyzed it descriptively using teacher educator identify as a theoretical lens. Findings revealed 15 different literacy leadership practices that represented five distinct groups. Among these groups, respondents demonstrated high and low levels of engagement with literacy leadership practices that pointed to important implications for administrators of teacher education programs.

“…First, in this article we are not interested in citizenship as claims to individual or collective rights by people in a vulnerable position in society, as is so often the case in approaches to mundane practices of citizenship. Instead, we will look into the practices through which organizations, professionals and activists engaged in children's rights advocacy seek to secure such rights for children and the youth (see also Basok 2009;Boylan and Dalrymple 2009;Royea and Appl 2009). In this context, citizenship is about identifying and exposing exclusions and inequalities related to social and cultural vulnerabilities and, where possible, introducing societal change (Isin 2009).…”

This paper develops conceptual tools for analyzing the practices of children's rights organizations and professionals as transnational citizenship. To this end, we set out to trace a continuum of citizenship practices where global and local influences and forces enmesh in ways that cannot be grasped if the two are treated as separate realms. To theorize the social dynamism and spatial constitution of transnational citizenship as a local-global continuum, we turn to Bourdieuan field theoretical thinking. By analyzing the handling of the Finnish Periodic Report on children's rights by the Committee on the Rights of the Child, and the mobilization of its recommendations by Finnish children's rights advocates, we show that transnational citizenship in the field of children's rights is practiced not merely 'out there' but also 'right here'. We conclude by discussing what novel insights field theory has to offer to the study of advocacy practices as transnational citizenship.
