Conferences

The Oxford Ethnography Conference (OEC) is held annually in September in Oxford, England over 2 days and has existed since 1977. It is a small conference where about 50-60 papers are distributed prior to the conference and 40 minutes is given to each paper presentation in three parallel sessions with the author/s only given 10 minutes introduction. The rest of the time is given to discussion of some of the issues arising from the paper. There are a regular wide range of experienced and inexperienced delegates from the United States and North and South America, Europe and the Near and Far East including Australia. We also encourage PhD students, in particular, who find the format very useful. Many of the articles are then submitted to our journal Ethnography and Education.

The 2010 OEC conference commences at 14.00 on Monday 6 September to Wednesday -8 September finishing at about 16.30 at Nw College Oxford. The call for papers has now closed. We will have about 60 pre circulated papers presented at the conference. Application forms are available: OEC2010-Registration Form
