CALL FOR PAPERS
Advances in Ethnography, Language and Communication
20th September 2007, Aston University
Abstracts for papers and posters are invited from
social scientists using ethnographically
sensitive perspectives and tools in any area
which involves the study of language and
communication (for instance, researching social
processes, institutions, education, culture or
identity). This one-day conference aims to
explore the possibilities and problems of
employing ethnographic approaches to the analysis
of verbal and textual data, and consider how such
methods can complement other perspectives and
methods of inquiry. Plenary speakers include
Janet Maybin (Centre for Language and Communication, Open University).
Abstracts are particularly encouraged from social
science researchers in the early stages of their
careers. Oral presentations will be 20 minutes in
length, followed by a 10-minute discussion
period. Dedicated time will be allocated for poster presentations.
Abstracts, of up to 300 words, should be
submitted by e-mail attachment (Word files) to
