In this paper we present our experiences of conducting focus groups with young people as part of a participatory approach to research design and participant recruitment. The research is a prospective, 10-year, qualitative, longitudinal project investigating young people's daily lives, relationships, and identities, and the ways these change over time. It adopts a multi-method approach in which each participant has a choice about which methods to be involved with. Part of the project planning and recruitment was completed through focus groups held in schools across metropolitan and rural West Yorkshire with young people aged 13. The focus groups enabled us to recruit participants from a variety of backgrounds. They were also an important medium through which to elicit the views of young people (which were perceptively and constructively critical) about project design, methods development, and dissemination events. The paper focuses on what we learnt from these focus groups and considers the value of engaging participants in designing qualitative research.

This article reviews three visual methods based on drawing that I applied in my research on young people: the arts-based projective technique, the self-portrait, and the graphic elicitation methods of the relational map and the timeline. Examples of these methods are drawn from their application in two studies, the Narratives of Identity and Migration project, exploring young people and identities in England and Italy, and the Young Lives and Times. The article argues that applying these drawing methods in the context of an interview can open up participants’ interpretations of questions, and allow a creative way of interviewing that is responsive to participants’ own meanings and associations. The article discusses the analytical potential of graphic elicitation and arts-based methods, by making reference to the insights that they offered in the contextual analysis with more traditional text-based data. The efficacy of these methods is critically discussed, together with their limitations, and their potential within the context of qualitative longitudinal research.

To what extent can the experience of travel become also a journey of self-discovery leading to a reconstruction of identities? Taking 'a year out', inter-railing, going abroad on a language study or an au pair stay: these are some of the most common forms of youth travel in contemporary Europe. As almost ritual ways of moving, they may be likened to initiation journeys. This article explores the significance of travel in young people's lives, and in the process of identity construction. These issues are explored in the travel narratives of a group of young people who took part in an autobiographical and mixed method project on identities which was conducted in England and Italy. The meaning of travel in these young people's lives is appreciated through their own words and written diaries. Young people's agency and role in constructing their travel experiences is analysed, as well as the extent to which fate, in the shape of societal expectations and norms, as well as parental intervention, may actually predefine some forms of travel as 'institutional' rites of passage. Travels may offer a scenario for an individualised construction of self, which may also involve the co-participation of significant others. The experiences of young women backpackers in this study point out how travelling can still be a way of defining alternative gender identities.

... Fuller comments on the continued challenges felt by female participants when seeking 'parity in the selves they strive to be' (Fuller 2018: 103) if their owned perspectives and lived experiences are not what inform studies related to empowerment and self-efficacy from the outset. The women's socioeconomic, cultural and socially constructed biographies, how they identified and what they felt personally and socially were integral to our sessions (Hillier & Rooksby 2005;Bagnoli & Ketokivi 2009). ...

... Visuals can be participant-led, with participants creating the visuals and graphics; researcher-led, where the researcher(s) creates the visual and uses it to elicit data from participants; or co-created by the researcher(s) and participant(s) collaboratively and cooperatively (Bagnoli, 2009;Bravington & King, 2019;Manja et al., 2021;Umoquit et al., 2011). Given that visual methods were historically developed to address the issue of power imbalances between researchers and participants, more recently, they have been predominantly used in participatory research where visuals are created by participants alone or co-created with the researcher (Manja et al., 2021). ...

... The creative overcoming of limitations realized during the triple crisis affecting the spheres of representation, legitimacy, and impact of qualitative research practice (cf. Denzin, Lincoln, 1994;2005;, has been accompanied by institutional pressure for innovation (Travers, 2009), resulting in the continuous development of new ways of research (Taylor, Coffey, 2009). This trend is reinforced by the penetration of qualitative methods into many different disciplines and hence contexts and areas of research. ...

Recent research argued for the link between tourism, personal growth, authenticity, and selfidentity (Liu and Kirillova, 2021;McKay et al., 2019;Layland and Nelson, 2018;Grabowski et al., 2017;Hirschorn and Hefferon, 2013;Bagnoli, 2009).

... While research has examined the construction and performance of identities within a variety of contexts-institutional (Andreouli & Howarth, 2013), national (Hopkins & Greenwood, 2013;Lukate, 2019a;Wagner et al., 2012), socio-political (Reddy & Gleibs, 2019)-and studied how changes within social contexts, such as the emergence of the term 'African American' (Philogène, 2001) or the introduction of mixed census categories (Aspinall, 2003;Song & Aspinall, 2012), affect individual's identities, it is the aspect of individual's moving from one socio-political context to another that we are interested in. This interest in the importance of spatial context changes for identity is less explored in the psychological literature, compared with sociology (Bagnoli, 2007(Bagnoli, , 2009Sims, 2016) and tourism studies (Desforges, 2000;Noy, 2004). This paper thus centres Black and mixed-race women's travel narratives, looking at how changes in contexts (defined as spatial movements from one socio-geographic context to another) correspond to and bring about changes in the ways in which the women style their hair as part of their performance of identity. ...
