New open access anthology published by Routledge: Novelty, Innovation and Transformation in Educational Ethnographic Research (2024)

Edited by Jürgen Budde, Anke Wischmann, Georg Rißler and Michael Meier-Sternberg

This edited volume is based o a conference at EUF in 2022. It tackles the theoretical, empirical and methodological questions of how novelty can be determined in and through educational ethnographic research.

Responding to the increasing need for new and innovative methodological and theoretical foundations for the field, chapters draw on a variety of empirical, critically examined data sets such as observation protocols of pedagogical practice, digital communication and visual representations to bridge the gap between empirical and theoretical approaches, ultimately combining different traditions and discourses within educational ethnography. Collating perspectives and accounts from over 30 authors based in European centers of excellence such as Germany, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Denmark, the book provides an epistemological reflection on what we can understand as ‘new’ in theoretical and methodological research.

This volume will be of use to researchers, academics and postgraduate students involved with research methods in education, ethnography and the theory of education more broadly. Those involved with research design, innovation and European research methods will also find the volume of use.
