Exploring Children’s Responses to Contemporary Biographies About Women, 2020

These data were generated as part of an ESRC-funded PhD research project undertaken by Louise Couceiro at the University of Glasgow. The project sought to explore how eight children (aged 7-10) in the UK responded to and engaged with four biographical compendiums about women published between 2016 and 2020. Research was undertaken in two phases. Four participants engaged in the first phase and four engaged in the second. In each phase, participants took part in individual interviews and group reading sessions. The transcripts comprise online Zoom interviews with participants (n=7) and group reading sessions with participants from the first phase (n = 2). As part of the consent procedure, participants chose whether to grant permission for their de-identified data to be included in this archive.
