[Ethnography Forum]

Penn’s Center for Urban Ethnography is pleased to announce: 

The 32nd Annual Ethnography in Education Research Forum: Immigration and Migration: Ethnography in Education in Dynamic Times and Spaces 

February 25 & 26, 2011 at the Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania 

Friday Morning Keynote Address – Stacey Lee, University of Wisconsin at Madison, USA 
Friday Evening Plenary – Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University, the Netherlands 
Saturday Morning Plenary - Gerald Campano, University of Pennsylvania, USA 
Saturday Evening – Norma González, University of Arizona, USA 

Globalizing flows of people, information, ideas, language varieties, goods, capitals, and technology make their way into traditional and innovative educational spaces today as never before. 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. 


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? 

Free admission to Philadelphia School Employees and UPenn Students, Faculty and Staff.
