Rationale

Ethnography and Education is a non profit making organisation that seeks to generate an international educational network to develop and support ethnographic perspectives and methodologies. We organise international conferences, including an annual conference in Oxford and we commission and publish books including a dedicated series . We also publish a tri-annual journal, (journal link please) and administer an international email list. We illuminate educational practices through empirical methodologies which prioritise the experiences and perspectives of those involved. We are particularly open to sociological perspectives and general educational studies as well as anthropology. Our priority is to support ethnographic research that involves long-term engagement with those studied in order to understand their cultures, to use multiple methods of generating data and to recognise the centrality of the researcher in the research process.
