Anniversary of Practitioner Inquiry Day. This year, 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.

scholars at all career stages seeking a supportive venue to share their ethnographic work. One of ours 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.
