    Abstract

    Child culture studies is a multidisciplinary field, often embedded in academic institutions of education, social sciences, or psychology in addition to arts and humanities. Consequently, the fundamental research paradigms are becoming more heterogeneous than before. Yet a thorough discussion of different ontological and epistemological presuppositions, and how they affect concepts and research designs, is pending. In the proposed roundtable, we invite participants to reflect upon ”discipline” in an extended sense, referring to the principles of research conducted in new settings, drawing on research from different fields (multidisciplinarity), with new types of data, and affected by new constellations and demands, related to research ethics and the sharing of knowledge.
