Dear Rethinking participants,

We hope you had a really nice weekend and a good trip home. Thank you for two wonderful days of Rethinking Educational Ethnography! 

The Rethinking community stays in touch on Facebook, where we shared photos from the conference, calls for coming conferences, special issues, and meetings. Please also share your photos and memories from Rethinking 2019 on our Facebook group, so we can look back at bright moments from the Rethinking conference in Graz: https://www.facebook.com/groups/246438635544983/

The next Rethinking Educational Ethnography Conference will take place in Göteborg in 2020. We look forward to see you again in Göteborg!

  

All the best

Clemens 

For the conference organiser team

Dear REE community,

We are happy to publish the conference program for 2019! Thank you for sending your full papers to us over the course of the last weeks. Based on your papers, we have planned the session structure for the conference, and as organiser team, we tried our best to accommodate your requests. Please remember that the Rethinking conference series is grounded in its openness to new developments in ethnographic research, and thrives on an atmosphere where we mutually inspire and develop our understanding of ethnography. To develop our understanding of ethnography, the conference relies on the joint discussion of conference papers. This means that we encourage you to take some time to read the conference papers. In case you are very busy, please look at the papers and decide which papers you will read with priority. 

Please remember our conference website contains practical information on arrival, transport, a contact telephone number, and a map with conference locations. You are welcome to contact us at ree2019@uni-graz.at in case you have questions regarding the conference. 

We look forward to see you in Graz!

Clemens, for the conference organizer team
