developing faster than ever, and change the ways we communicate, teach,
learn and research. We now live in a digital world where new forms of
interactions, social relationships, and identities are generated, thus
transforming the very meaning of education. Learning and educating now
occur in contexts shaped by Facebook, Smart Phones, Texting, Twitter,
online learning, and Skyping—creating new resources and new challenges
to our educative worlds. One now needs to draw on ever more diverse
semiotic resources when traversing across different virtual and real
spaces. As ethnographic researchers, our toolkit has greatly expanded:
our briefcase-sized tape recorders of the past have been replaced by
pocket-sized digital recorders, smart technology, hand-held video
recorders, and online chatting from opposite corners of the globe. These
tools have opened up greater possibilities for ethnographically
capturing and exploring digital discourses and also for collaboration
among ethnographers from a distance. Reciprocally, ethnographic and
qualitative research provides keen analytical tools to capture and
understand the complex and vibrant realities in which fast-changing
technology affects the lives of students and teachers.</span><br><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><br><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The 33</span><span style="font-size: 7.2pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super;">rd</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Ethnography in Education Forum will seek to explore the following types of questions:</span><br><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How

Ethnography in Education Research Forum, convened by the Center for
Urban Ethnography at the University of Pennsylvania every year since
1980, is the largest annual meeting of qualitative researchers in
education. The Forum has from the beginning excelled in nurturing
ethnographic research and researchers in schools. The Forum is known for
its friendly and supportive atmosphere for fledgling researchers and
for the spirit of relaxed and open dialogue embracing newcomers and
experienced researchers alike. Areas of emphasis include: multicultural
issues in education, practitioner/teacher/action research, critical and
feminist ethnography, ethnographic evaluation in education, language
issues in education, uses of ethnography in math and science, and
indigenous language revitalization.</span><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For more information:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><a href="about:blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 139); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">http://www.gse.upenn.edu/cue/forum</span></a></p><a href="about:blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 139); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></a><br><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For proposal submission:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><a href="about:blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 139); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">http://www.conftool.com/forum2012/.</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><a href="about:blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 139); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></a><br><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ONLINE SUBMISSION CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT EST, OCTOBER 1, 2011.</span></p><a href="about:blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 139); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></a><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Center for Urban Ethnography<br class="kix-line-break">Graduate School of Education<br class="kix-line-break">University of Pennsylvania<br class="kix-line-break">3700 Walnut Street<br class="kix-line-break">Philadelphia, PA 19104-6216<br class="kix-line-break">Email: </span><a href="mailto:cue@gse.upenn.edu"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">cue@gse.upenn.edu</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break">Phone: 215-898-3273<br class="kix-line-break"><br class="kix-line-break"></span></div></body></html>
