Call for Proposals: Ethnography in Education Research Forum

Posted by University of Pennsylvania on September 19, 2016

2017 THEME: ETHNOGRAPHY IN ACTION
February 24-25, 2017

The Ethnography in Education Research Forum invites submissions for its 38th annual meeting. Our theme, Ethnography in Action, corresponds with our celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Practitioner Inquiry Day. We are seeking proposals that highlight ethnographic research as a form of social action. In the midst of increasing economic disparities, deepening racialized, religious, and class divisions, and a rise in precarity, trauma, and fear across the globe, the need for action rarely has seemed more pressing.

Proposals accepted August 15 – October 10, 2016

Registration for conference opens November 1, 2016

The Forum welcomes scholars at all career stages seeking a supportive venue to share their ethnographic work. One of our goals is to provide space for researchers and practitioners who use ethnographic methods in their work to come together across generations to share and learn from one another and, in so doing, to become part of a broader community interested in education and youth studies, and in achieving greater social justice more broadly.
