Contribution

This roundtable will review our current E&E activities and in particular the past seven years of our journal and discuss the next few years development as well as its relationship with allied E&E activities. The journal is considered a success by the publishers Taylor and Francis and developing on course for a journal of this age and with a niche focus. We are in the process of applying for listed status in SSCI ranking, appointing a new editor and Board from 2014 and reviewing our public profile as well as our commissioning criteria.

The ECER Ethnography Network 19 has been a vital element in the development of the journal and our allied activities and it is the appropriate place to have a review discussion as 75% of submissions to the journal come from outside the UK and all our current book publications except two methodological issues are based on international research.

The questions posed will include:

What aspects of E&E International are worth developing and what new approaches and activities might be developed?

What aspects and policies of the journal should we continue to uphold and which ones need reviewing?

How can we improve the quality of the journal and increase submissions?

To what extent should we develop the journal and our allied activities in new areas of internet activity?

Method

Dennis Beach will: • outline a summary of the E&E organisation and its integrating factors including the role of the journal. • review the past seven years of the journal and present some cautionary notes for the future. • summarise our SSCI application and its relevance for future activities. • Sofia Marques da Silva, Karen Borgnakke and Francesca Gobbo, Carl Bagley, Pat Thomson, Marianne Dovemark – Journal Board Members - will be invited to comment on the significance of the journal to their context. • look forward with some perspectives on what they believe needs retaining and in which directions the journal might embark.

Expected Outcomes

The attendees at the roundtable will then be invited to make contributions taking into account the presentations and the questions identified for examination
