It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and frankly since I’ve worked on my reading list. Scanning it, there seems to be a good basis of children’s participation and how to assess and evaluate deep, meaningful engagement, but it is still light on democratic governance. In my head, I had thought of my list as a combination and hopefully a blend of children’s participation and democratic governance, but it is a bit one sided as of now. I’ve also thought about components or offshoots of these two large umbrella terms that I’d like to be part of my list: children as political actors, participatory governance in urban settings (I’m beginning to think that I’d like to have a focus on urban settings), assessing participatory democratic governance, case studies of participatory democratic governance. Although I think that as I begin to read a couple of the pieces I have already identified as being of interest to me, literature that these authors refer to will likely be key, I’d like to reach out here to see if anyone has recommendations to offer.
