NEW LIST It may be the case that narrower foci are sometimes needed to satisfy more specialised interests and esoteric language. To this end, a new list 'Ethnography in Education' has been constructed. Description : > The list promotes discussion concerning issues connected > with the use of ethnographic research methods in education. > It is a forum to share ideas, generate activity, exchange > information and experiences. > > Ethnography has grown in use, along with the rise of qualitative > research methods in education. It is a small but influential > branch of qualitative methodology and needs a medium > such as this through which it can develop. There is an annual > conference which supports its work but our members are > often isolated in their universities. We have a number of international contacts > some of whom will be discussing a European network at this year's European Education Research Annual conference. If any of the current qual-software members wish to join this list please send a message to mailbase with the following message in the main body of the text. join ethnography-in- education Do pass on this information to anyone else you may know who may interested in this new list.
