Hi,
The European Education Research Conference {EERA} takes place in Edinburgh
from Thursday 20 to Saturday 23 September. [Note that the Oxford Ethnography
Conference takes place on Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th of September - nine
days earlier. More details later.]
We have, as you have already been informed, established an Ethnography
Network within ECER and we hope to have some active symposiums, roundtables
and debates at the conference, as well as offering you the opportunity to
place your paper within network that is sympathetic not only to your subject
matter but to your methodology.
Our EERA Network aims to provide a home for research papers which claim to
either be an ethnography or to use ethnographic methods. We loosely define
this approach to research as one which largely engages with the perspectives
and experiences of those being researched but that throws light on the
nature of culture and its construction, albeit an 'interpreted' one. The
structural areas of focus would include the nature of life in educational
institutions as experienced by policy-makers, managers, teachers,
support-assistants, parents, student's and pupils. Other perspectives
include those who influence and are affected by education, those excluded
from it and those who choose to distance themselves from those institutions.
Themes include gender, race, class and disabilities. We welcome all
representations involving foci from micro ethnographic discourse analysis
through cultural and anthropological study to sociological analysis. As
well as substantial papers we welcome those that focus on methodological
issues and perspectives from across the field. We look forward to pan
European engagements, collusions and illuminations through the presentation
of diverse perspectives.
Please:
* Consider submitting an abstract of a paper for this conference under
our Network either focusing on substantive research or on a methodological
paper. We will be glad to discuss your abstract or anything to do with your
research either publicly on this discussion list or privately. [Contact
Details Below]
* Submit it - however tentative you are - by the 1st February. We, as
a co-ordinating committee, will contact you about your abstract during
before the end of February when we have to pass on our recommendations to
the EERA organising Committee. So, talking to us can enhance the abstract,
assist approval and ensure that this is the right option for you.
