<P ALIGN=CENTER><B><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Arial">Oxford Ethnography and Education Conference:</FONT></B></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><B><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Arial">Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 September 2004</FONT></B></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial">As in 2004 this year’s conference will be at St Hilda’s College Oxford where it began in 1978. The college is situated on the banks of the River Cherwell with gardens that sweep down to the edge of the river, justifiably famous for picnics, pleasant evening strolls and views of punting. It is located in the centre of the city</FONT><B> </B><A HREF="http://www.sthildas.ox.ac.uk/conferences"><B><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">www.sthildas.ox.ac.uk/conferences</FONT></U></B><B></B></A><B></B><B><FONT FACE="Arial">.</FONT></B></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial">We look forward to a continuing stream of international papers that focus on ethnographic research in educational contexts and relevant issues, theory and methodology. In particular this year we welcome papers from those who attended the early conferences to review ethnography’s contribution to research and any papers that assess its potential today. Apart from this particular focus we welcome papers from across the whole breadth of ethnography and education.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial">We are also pleased to be able to announce that our new journal Ethnography and Education published by Routledge will be launched in the Spring of 2006 with three issues per year and we anticipate that the annual Oxford conference will be a rich resource for the journal.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial">This year’s registration for the conference will include a journal subscription for the journal for three issues in 2006 and this will be repeated for future conferences.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><B><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Arial">Conference Culture</FONT></B></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial">We aim to create a positive and collegial atmosphere, and there will be ample opportunity for people to meet, talk and socialize.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial">As previously, all papers will be circulated before the conference to enable the 45 minute sessions to be devoted almost entirely to a discussion of the research findings, methods and wider issues attached to each paper.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial">We also encourage you to invite other ethnographers from the fringes of education who you feel would welcome such an opportunity. The numbers will be limited (40 maximum) in order to maintain a high degree of interaction in the sessions.</FONT></P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><B><FONT SIZE=5 FACE="Arial">Abstract Submission</FONT></B></P>
