Call for Papers/Registration
Oxford Ethnography and Education Conference
Monday 10th to Wednesday 12th September 2012

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.

This year’s conference will be held again at 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/ <http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/%20> >

We always have a large representation from outside the UK – over 50% - and we hope this will continue. As many of you know, we publish a journal Ethnography and Education www.ethnographyandeducation.org<http://www.ethnographyandeducation.org> for which papers from the Oxford Ethnography Conference provide a rich resource.

The cost of the two and a half day conference will be around £165 plus accommodation. 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

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 (56 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 9th March 2012 and authors will be notified of paper acceptance by Friday 20th April 2012. 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 20th July 2012.

Organisation and Accommodation
Lisa Russell (The University of Huddersfield) [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, Sarah Robinson (The University of Stirling) [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, Jonathan Tummons (Teesside University), Ruth Barley (Sheffield Hallam University) will be responsible for the organisation and administration of the conference.
