    "Global Child is a gift. It enables the reader to see and understand what ecological, participatory, ethical, and collaborative work looks like; and it makes me hopeful for research, practice, and policy in contexts of conflict and migration that embodies the listening, unlearning, and re-envisioning that this book illuminates."
    — Sarah Dryden-Peterson, author of Right Where We Belong: How Refugee Teachers and Students Are Changing the Future of Educat

    "Global Child, skillfully edited by Denov, Mitchell, and Rabiau, is a richly textured collection that highlights the impact of war, displacement, and migration on children and families worldwide. The compelling use of participatory, arts-based research makes visible the courage, integrity, and creativity of both researchers and participants alike. Their difficult knowledge needs to be widely shared in the Global North and the Global South."
    — Bonny Norton, author of Identity and Language Learning

    Armed conflicts continue to wreak havoc on children and families around the world with profound effects. In 2017, 420 million children—nearly one in five—were living in conflict-affected areas, an increase in 30 million from the previous year. The recent surge in war-induced migration, referred to as a "global refugee crisis" has made migration a highly politicized issue, with refugee populations and host countries facing unique challenges. We know from research related to asylum seeking families that it is vital to think about children and families in relation to what it means to stay together, what it means for parents to be separated from their children, and the kinds of everyday tensions that emerge in living in dangerous, insecure, and precarious circumstances. In Global Child, the authors draw on what they have learned through their collaborative undertakings, and highlight the unique features of participatory, arts-based, and socio-ecological approaches to studying war-affected children and families, demonstrating the collective strength as well as the limitations and ethical implications of such research. Building on work across the Global South and the Global North, this book aims to deepen an understanding of their tri-pillared approach, and the potential of this methodology for contributing to improved practices in working with war-affected children and their families.
