English Since the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, research into children’s rights issues in educational contexts has grown significantly. This paper takes stock of the evolution of educational children’s rights research, and provides a characterisation of the research field. By means of a systematic analysis of the published scholarship, the main achievements of the research are identified, as well as gaps in knowledge production. Major research foci are highlighted, the theoretical and methodological characteristics of the field are demonstrated, and concerns are identified. Based on the insights gained from analysis of the research field, future prospects are identified and discussed, and some possible routes forward for educational children’s rights research are suggested.
