Network Activities

We successfully started our Ethnography Zoom Sessions between conferences, with inputs by renowned educational ethnographers such as Lisa Russell, Katie Fitzpatrick, Annette Lareau, Blaire Sackett, and Michalinos Zembylas. Ethnography Zoom Sessions offer low-threshold access to ongoing debates in educational ethnography. Information about the Zoom Sessions is shared via newsletter

The network holds close ties to the journal Ethnography and Education. All participants who presented their research in the ethnography network are warmly invited to submit a full paper of their presentation to the journal. 

Further publications include:

• Out Q1/2026: Special issue in Ethnography and Education – “Ethnography and Emotions. Methodological reflections on the exploration of emotions in education research” in the journal Ethnography & Education. Based on contributions from REE2023 in Freiburg, Germany.
• On its way: Special issue in E&E – “Transformative Research for Education and Social Justice” Based on contributions from REE2024 in Zaragoza, Spain.
• On its way: Anthology based on the “International Conference on Educational Ethnography”. Based on contributions from the 2024 Conference in Zürich, Switzerland.
