Dear Colleagues,

Please find below (and attached) information and the second call for
papers for Explorations in Ethnography, Language and Communication.

Second Annual Conference
Explorations in Ethnography, Language and Communication

Friday 11th September 2009, Aston University

We welcome abstracts that explore the possibilities and problems of
employing ethnographically sensitive approaches to language and
communication research across a wide range of disciplines and topics
(including health, education, social and political processes, culture
and identity). The second annual event has a focus on data and
methodology. The selection process will therefore give particular
consideration to those abstracts (a) oriented towards the concepts and
methods of ethnography and (b) providing a clear focus on how these
methods can be applied to the collection and analysis of language
data.

Abstracts (up to 300 words) should be submitted by e-mail attachment
(Word files) to explorations09 at googlemail.com. Please submit two
files, one containing the abstract and details of the author(s)
(name(s), affiliation, email address) and one containing an anonymous
abstract. Under the title for the abstract, please give four keywords
which summarise the paper/poster. In the body of your email please
specify whether the abstract is for a poster or paper presentation.
The deadline for submission of papers, posters and data analysis
proposals is Friday 1st May 2009.

The conference is run as a one-day event. Oral presentations will be
30 minutes in length, followed by 15 minutes for discussion. Dedicated
time and space will also be allocated for poster presentations.
Plenary speakers are Professor Jan Blommaert (Department of Languages,
University of Jyvaskyla) and Professor Martyn Hammersley (The Open
University).

An optional data-focused workshop will be available to conference
registrants on the afternoon of Thursday 10th September. Participants
are invited to submit data from their own research projects. Those
wishing to submit data for analysis should send a brief (no more than
one page) description of the data (background, participants, method of
collection etc.), the aims of the research project and the questions
they would like to explore. Submissions should be made by e-mail
attachment to explorations09 at googlemail.com. Please specify in the
title and body of your email that this proposal is for the
data-focused workshop. Workshop facilitators include Professor Ben
Rampton and Professor Celia Roberts (King’s College London), Dr Adam
Lefstein, Dr Jeff Bezemer and Dr Carey Jewitt (Institute of Education
University of London).

Registration for the conference will open in June 2009. The one-day
conference fee is £35, including a buffet lunch, tea and coffee, with
a reduced rate of £15 for students. There will be a charge of £10 for
the optional data-focused workshop. Places for the data workshop will
be limited so early registration is advised.

The conference is organised by Dr. Fiona Copland (School of Languages
and Social Sciences, Aston University), Dr. Julia Snell (Institute of
Education University of London) and Dr. Sara Shaw (Department of
Primary Care and Population Health, University College London / The
Nuffield Trust).
