    Can we find out about girls and boys today – or must we settle for just talking about ourselves?: dilemmas of a feminist, qualitative, longitudinal research project
    MCLEOD, JULIE ; Yates, Lyn (Australian Association for Research in Education, 1997-12)
    Question - What does the postmodern ethnographer say to the interviewee? Answer - Enough about you - now let's talk about me. This paper addresses the problems and experiences of engaging in a longitudinal, qualitative project of empirical research while trying to be seriously reflexive about what we are constructing as researchers. The particular project is the 'The 12 to 18 Project' running in Victoria.

    How do young people think about self, work and futures
    MCLEOD, JULIE ; Yates, Lyn (Australian Institute of Family Studies, 1998)
    The 12 to 18 Educational Research Project, commenced in 1993, is a longitudinal study that is following a number of young people at four different Victorian schools through each year of their secondary schooling. Twice each year, interviews are conducted with 24 students (six students at each of the schools), either alone or with their friends, the interviews are video- and audiotaped. The aim of the study is to follow qualitatively the thinking of these young people, and their pathways as they go through schooling and then enter life beyond this.In this article, we discuss some findings from this work in progress looking in particular at how young people in the early and middle years of secondary schooling are thinking about self, work and futures, and we consider in what ways gender is an issue in their approach.

    'And how would you describe yourself?': researchers and researched in first stages of a qualitative, longitudinal research project
    Yates, Lyn ; MCLEOD, JULIE (Australian Council for Educational Research, 1996-04)
    This article discusses methodological issues and some initial substantive findings from the first two years of the 12 to 18 Educational Research Project. The 12 to 18 Project is a qualitative, longitudinal study of girls and boys from the end of grade 6 and as they proceed through each year of their secondary schooling. The article discusses epistemological and ethical issues related to how and with what implications the researchers 'construct' the researched in this long-term empirical study. It then discusses background literature and some initial findings in the three areas with which the project is concerned: the development of gendered subjectivity in the years of secondary school; schools, inequalities, and students' changing relationship to curriculum; and students' changing thinking about their futures.
