Abstract

This text aims to show how ethnographic research, when it includes the participation of children and youths, delve into and renew current debates on how to address, question and understand educational contexts. I view ethnography in collaboration with children and youths as part of a collaborative trend in Latin American educational ethnography and I focus on the actuality of the distinction between research about and with this sector of the population. Moreover, through the analysis of a situation taken from ethnographic work in conducted in collaboration with children, I point to opportunities opened by this shared way to do research to access more thorough and unexplored understandings that incorporate knowledge and theories overshadowed or unknown among experts and scholars.
