The conference will open on the afternoon of Thursday 23rd September 
with a series of interactive data workshops (including contributions from 
Professor Ben Rampton, King's College London; Professor Angela Creese, 
University of Birmingham; Dr Frances Rock, Cardiff University; and Dr Sarah 
Collins, University of York), involving discussion of selected data combined 
with a paper presentation, allowing delegates to debate the process of 
interpretation and analysis. 

Friday 24th September will then comprise plenary lectures, parallel oral 
presentations and a closing debate, with plenty of opportunity to exchange 
ideas with speakers and other delegates. 

Plenary speakers include Professor Charles Briggs (Department of 
Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley) and Professor Carey Jewitt 
(Institute of Education, University of London). 

The conference is affiliated with the UK Linguistic Ethnography Forum and 
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 (University College London / The Nuffield 
Trust). 

Call for Papers

We are inviting abstracts for papers and posters for the 2010 conference on 
Explorations in Ethnography Language and Communication. The theme of 
the conference is 'perspectives on data'. Particular consideration will 
therefore be given to papers that explore questions such as: 'what counts 
as 'data' in  linguistic ethnography?'; 'What is the relationship between data 
and researcher or data and participant?'; 'How should/can ethnographic 
data be analysed and interpreted?' Submissions are encouraged from 
across disciplines and topics including, for instance, research on health, 
education, culture and identity, but abstracts should provide a clear focus 
on how ethnographic concepts and methods can be applied to the 
description and analysis of language data. 

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. Abstracts (up to 300 words) should be submitted by e-mail 
attachment (Word files) to lss_eelc at aston.ac.uk. 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 abstracts has been extended to Monday 
26th April 2010. Registration for the conference will open in June 2010.
