The concept of transformative social<br />practice will be discussed in relation to the notion of transformation.<br />Through empirical examples provided by Holly (12) and Oliver (11), the article argues that<br />research processes open up possibilities for understanding ourselves (researchers and<br />participants) in new ways.<br />‘Life Mapping’ - as dialogical method in research with children - will be presented and reflected<br />upon as a way for children to develop different understandings of themselves, their families, and<br />everyday life. This emphasizes the connection between the use of child-relevant methodologies and<br />how specific children can bring dialogues from the research process in to play in their everyday<br />lives.<br />Data is drawn from a qualitative study and is a part of a PhD project studying children’s everyday<br />lives with two households as a result of parental divorce. The project involves ten children aged 8-<br />12 and their parents. ER -
