Abstract

Increasingly, ‘voice’, though not an uncontested term, is understood as manifest through, for instance, gesture, gaze, body language, art, and other embodied forms (Murris, 2013; Murray, 2019), and even silence (Spyrou, 2016; Hanna, 2022). However voice is shared, researchers must attend carefully to what is said, and to what is not. In this, we acknowledge that children have something to say, which is fundamentally about how we think of children.
