Hi,
We are keen to provide two discussion/debate sessions at the ECER conference
in
Edinburgh in September. However we need suggestions and volunteers urgently.
Below are some ideas to begin this process. Could you please:
* indicate your support or objections to these proposals
* indicate if you would consider making a significant contribution to
any of them either as a main speaker or general contributor.
* add some other proposals/ideas for consideration by all of us.
Proposals
* 1)We organise a roundtable where contributors are invited to submit
a short ten minute paper/issue/argument and then have a discussion about it.
* 2)We select a specific question/issue and ask a panel of volunteers
with different perspectives to lead a discussion.
* 3)We select a well known and influential publication and ask a panel
of people to lead a discussion on its perspective and influence.
Proposed Themes.
a) the nature of ethnography in European countries.
b) the impact ethnography is having in European policy arenas.
c) how ethnography is viewed by policy makers and funding bodies in
Europe.
d) the place of ethnography in European Higher Education institutions.
e) issues surrounding the publication of ethnographic research in Europe.
f) the creation of a European Journal of Ethnography.
Please reply to either the ethnography list or the Squerm list by sending a
