paper reflects on a participatory art project with young people of black
African and white British heritage in north east <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">England</st1:country-region></st1:place>. The project involved young
people working with art to explore their emotional landscapes, and to develop
and analyse new research themes. As well as providing ground-up knowledge
production and policy outcomes, the project began to foster interactions
between groups of young people who lived close by but had rarely spoken to each
other. The narrative focuses on key moments in the facilitation of these
interactions. I discuss the importance of the materiality of art (the tools)
within participatory practices (the doing of it) in contributing to a space where
interactions might take place, emphasising a complex interplay across/between
actors, materials and space that frames encounters as emergent, transitory,
fragile <i><span style='font-style:italic'>and </span></i>hopeful. As such, I
address the knotty potential for the movement of these new interactions to
times and spaces beyond the immediate participatory arena. The analysis thus
allows us to interrogate more closely how participation may (and may not)
occur; casts light on theorising ‘real’ issues regarding
‘community cohesion’ in everyday lives; and in turn can make a
contribution to policy in this area. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

paper offers reflections on some of the ethical and methodological issues
involved in doing research with asylum-seeking and refugee children and young
people. Focusing upon issues of ethical approval and research design, access
and obtaining informed consent, privacy and confidentiality and finally
dissemination, I demonstrate the ways in which conducting ethical research is
often context dependant and varies according to the particular situation, needs
and experiences of the children and young people involved. As such, although
there are issues that are key to the conduct of ethical research (e.g.
minimisation of harm), other issues are more malleable and flexible.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
