Call for Papers/Registration
Oxford Ethnography and Education Conference:
Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th September 2010
This year's conference will be at our new venue of New College Oxford. New
College was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham, and is located on our
historic site in the centre of the city http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/
We look forward to a continuing stream of international papers that focus on
educational contexts and issues through ethnography and ethnographic methods
including empirical fieldwork as well as methodological papers focusing on
research activity.
We always have a large representation from outside the UK - over 50% - and we
hope this will continue. As many of know, we publish a journal Ethnography and
Education for which papers from the Oxford Ethnography Conference provide a
rich resource.
The cost of the two day conference will be £160. This includes:
* Tea, coffee and lunches,
* A year's subscription to the Ethnography and Education journal
* A choice of any book from our Ethnography and Education Book Series
* A three course conference dinner in one of the college dining rooms, with
wine and drinks included, on the evening of Tuesday 7th September. (This is
optional and costs £25 which can be deducted from the registration fee if not
required).
Conference Culture
We aim to create a positive and collegial atmosphere, and there will be ample
opportunity for people to meet, talk and socialize.
As previously, all papers will be circulated before the conference to enable 40
minute sessions to be developed almost entirely to a discussion of the research
findings, methods and wider issues attached to each paper.
We also encourage you to invite other ethnographers from the fringes of
education who you feel would welcome such an opportunity. The number of papers
will be limited (42 maximum) in order to maintain a high degree of interaction
in the sessions. Consequently abstracts should provide clear evidence of a
contribution to knowledge of the education sphere and details of ethnographic
methodology.
Abstract Submission
Electronic abstracts of between 300-500 words should be submitted to Lisa
Russell ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by Friday
26th February and authors will be notified of paper acceptance by 19th March
2010. They should include full details of ethnographic methodology and research
aims and findings if a substantive paper. Methodological papers welcomed.
A copy of the accepted papers should be submitted by Friday 2 July 2010.
