Meeting Description:

The University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education and the
Center for Urban Ethnography announce the 26th Annual Ethnography in
Education Research Forum, to be held February 25th and February 26th,
2005 on the University of Pennslyvania campus. The Ethnography in
Education Research Forum, the largest annual meeting of qualitative
researchers in education, is currently accepting proposal submissions
for individual papers and symposia that focus directly on issues of
significance for the conduct and understanding of the processes of
education.

We encourage proposals of research in areas such as ethnography of
education; research on everyday school practice; practictioner
research; multicultural, critical and feminist studies of education;
language and literacy in education; urban and international education;
indigenous language revitalization; action research in education; and
more. Please find our Call for Papers in the attachment to this e-mail
or on the forum's website (http://www.gse.upenn.edu/cue/forum.php).

26th Annual Ethnography in Education Research Forum

Theme: Educators Responding Local and Global Crises

Lately I've felt that while Rome is in flames, my attention has been
distracted by email. International and local crises, the waging of
journalistic and militaristic war, burn the pages of my newspaper yet
the challenges of my job demand most of my attention. Most of my life
I felt that I was looking back on the cataclysmic events of the World
War II generation, but now I read about cataclysmic events over
breakfast. Students and teachers have always had to cope with
cataclysmic events occurring inside and outside of their schools, yet
the invigorated and exigent nature of the crises of our epoch conjure
pressing questions:

How are educators and students experiencing this time of intense local
and global conflict? How do teachers and students deal with local
problems - like poverty, gun violence, educational policy demands, and
testing requirements - in the context of ongoing global problems? What
are the consequences for curriculum content and pedagogy? What are we
as educators and educational scholars doing?

Invited Speakers:

We are happy to announce that Pauline Lipman, Linda Christiansen,
Neville Alexander and Carole Bloch will be our plenary speakers this
year and may also join in facilitating the data analysis consultation
sessions which are a regular part of the Forum.

The Forum hosts a diverse selection of workshops convened by graduate
students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of education
and anthropology. We especially encourage proposals which incorporate
the theme of the 2005 Forum.

All proposals should be submitted electronically by 12 a.m. midnight,
October 1, 2004. To submit a proposal, go to
