The theme of the conference is "Ethnography as Counter Narrative: Reclaiming the Local in Educational Policy & Practice".
"Ethnography has a long tradition of seeking to understand and represent voices that are unheard, misunderstood, or minoritized. With the increased emphasis worldwide on high-stakes testing and top-down accountability standards in education has come a greater interest on the part of ethnographers and participatory action researchers to honor and reclaim local knowledge production and acts of resistance to dominant ways of knowing and doing in education. (...) The 34th Ethnography Forum invites researchers to share the narratives of lives which are lived as counter narratives and models of social activism, and to make visible the contradictions and tensions—as well as the promise and potential—in ethnographic research as counter-narrative."
