About the Workshop
The full title of this year's CRITPEN Workshop is "Critical ethnography: What can ethnography contribute with when exploring power-relations in education?"
The idea is for researchers with a critical knowledge interest to meet and develop ideas concerning questions such as: What is critical ethnography? Why, and how, to do critical ethnography? How can ethnography help us to explore power-relations in education? What, and whose, knowledge is produced?
We hope to gather researchers with a broad range of research topics and with different experiences of doing ethnographical research in different context.
The workshop will start with two keynotes discussing these type of questions (representing different theoretical perspectives) and end with a discussion among the participants departing from lectures. Below you will find a short preliminary schedule for the workshop.
We hope to see you in June!
Kind regards,
the CRITPEN Committee,
Mattias Nylund, Sirpa Lappalainen, Anna-Maija Niemi and Per-Åke Rosvall
