Oxford Ethnography Conference EC 2nd call for Papers

[David Boromisza-Habashi]

Call for Papers/Registration

Oxford Ethnography and Education Conference:

Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th September 2010

This year's conference will be at our new venue of New College Oxford.
New College was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham, and is located
on our historic site in the centre of the city
http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/

We look forward to a continuing stream of international papers that
focus on educational contexts and issues through ethnography and
ethnographic methods including empirical fieldwork as well as
methodological papers focusing on research activity.

We always have a large representation from outside the UK - over 50% -
and we hope this will continue. As many of know, we publish a journal
Ethnography and Education for which papers from the Oxford Ethnography
Conference provide a rich resource.

The cost of the two day conference will be £160. This includes:

 *   Tea, coffee and lunches,
 *   A year's subscription to the Ethnography and Education journal
 *   A choice of any book from our Ethnography and Education Book Series
 *   A three course conference dinner in one of the college dining
rooms, with wine and drinks included, on the evening of Tuesday 7th
September. (This is optional and costs £25 which can be deducted from
the registration fee if not required).

Conference Culture

We aim to create a positive and collegial atmosphere, and there will
be ample opportunity for people to meet, talk and socialize.

As previously, all papers will be circulated before the conference to
enable 40 minute sessions to be developed almost entirely to a
discussion of the research findings, methods and wider issues attached
to each paper.

We also encourage you to invite other ethnographers from the fringes
of education who you feel would welcome such an opportunity. The
number of papers will be limited (48 maximum) in order to maintain a
high degree of interaction in the sessions. Consequently abstracts
should provide clear evidence of a contribution to knowledge of the
education sphere and details of ethnographic methodology.


Abstract Submission

Electronic abstracts of between 300-500 words should be submitted to
Lisa Russell (lisacrussell at hotmail.com<mailto:lisacrussell at hotmail.com>)
by Friday 26th February and authors will be notified of paper
acceptance by 19th March 2010. They should include full details of
ethnographic methodology and research aims and findings if a
substantive paper. Methodological papers welcomed.
 A copy of the accepted papers should be submitted by Friday 2 July 2010.
