These dynamic flows shape who our current students, teachers, and families are; the diversified strengths they bring to learning; our approaches to effective teaching; and, ultimately, what abilities will prepare the next generation as global citizens. Ethnographic and qualitative research provides keen analytical tools to capture and understand the complex and vibrant realities in which we experience education in such dynamic times and lends itself to telling the stories of newcomers that often go unnoticed or unheard.<br><br></span></span><div><span id="dbeae3b5-b0d5-411d-b8a7-3d2854f85b9b"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">The 32nd Ethnography in Education Forum will seek to explore the following types of questions: How do learning, teaching and researching take on new forms amidst dynamic flows of people and growing numbers of Diaspora communities? How do educators foster spaces that build upon the cultural and languaging resources young people bring to contexts of learning? How do we navigate the obstacles of teaching, learning, and researching with those who differ from us? What knowledges, ideas, relationships, and technologies are learners and teachers drawing on to make sense of these dynamic times and spaces?<br><br>Free admission to Philadelphia School Employees and UPenn Students, Faculty and Staff.<br><br>For registration information and this year’s preliminary program, please visit our website at <a href="http://www.upenn.edu/cue/forum" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">www.upenn.edu/cue/forum</a><br><br>Videos of last year's plenary talks are also available on our website!</span></span></div><div><span id="dbeae3b5-b0d5-411d-b8a7-3d2854f85b9b"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><br></span></span></div><div><span id="dbeae3b5-b0d5-411d-b8a7-3d2854f85b9b"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">Nancy H.
