| Abstract: | A solid foundation of knowledge about care-leaving processes and outcomes has been laid, albeit largely in a few Global North countries. This knowledge foundation has edges that have been neglected, even overlooked. Young people leaving care are, in many ways, ‘on the edge’, as they transition between childhood and adulthood, care and independence, school and work. That's whay this book regards specific groups of care leavers, methods, and theories, rather than keeping to the mainstream research topics. Further, it describes the backgrounds of the authors who themselves are ‘on the edge’ as well – emerging from their post graduate studies around the globe. This book aims to conduct research about edgy facets of leaving care – understudied groups of care leavers, and fresh methodological approaches and innovative theories. The research has been conducted and chapters written by authors from all over the world who are, mostly, on the edge, transitioning between postgraduate student and scholar. Spring-boarding from their new insights, the chapter attempts to imagine what leaving-care research will look like in the future and where the new edges might be. It will draw attention to the many gaps and edges that remain and suggest possibilities for ongoing research that pushes the boundaries yet further forward. |
