With the multimodal affordances of today’s digital technologies, aesthetic and symbolic practices are more and more a part of people’s everyday lives the world over. Meanwhile, in schools, aesthetic approaches to learning are too often – increasingly – perceived as "extras" that can be relegated to the margins of the curriculum or eliminated entirely without repercussion. Yet, the arts expand our ways of knowing as surely as ethnography expands our ways of understanding our world. Indeed, several ethnographic research traditions have explored the pedagogical possibilities of artistic expression and performance, in and out of schools. How do we as educators envision the place of artistic and multimodal expression in our pedagogies? And what roles can we as ethnographers play in exploring and imagining possibilities for creative and aesthetic ways of learning/knowing in classrooms, schools, and learning communities?
As the Ethnography in Education Research Forum reaches its 35th year, we invite you to celebrate what is possible in teaching and research when conducted through artistic, multimodal lenses. We welcome the arts in ethnographic research (e.g. ethnographic films, ethnographic poetry) alongside ethnographies of arts education and aesthetic approaches to learning in formal or informal settings. We seek to showcase teachers, researchers, practitioner-researchers, students and artists who demonstrate what is possible in pedagogy through their imagination and creativity, especially in contexts that are less supportive of the arts. We foresee presentations of ethnography and pedagogy in the arts, through the arts, and as art.

About the Ethnography in Education Research Forum
The Ethnography in Education Research Forum, convened by the Center for Urban Ethnography at the University of Pennsylvania every year since 1980, is the largest annual meeting of qualitative researchers in education. The Forum has from the beginning excelled in nurturing ethnographic research and researchers in schools. The Forum is known for its friendly and supportive atmosphere for fledgling researchers and for the spirit of relaxed and open dialogue embracing newcomers and experienced researchers alike. Areas of emphasis include: multicultural issues in education, practitioner/teacher/action research, critical and feminist ethnography, ethnographic evaluation in education, language issues in education, uses of ethnography in math and science, and indigenous language revitalization.

The Second Annual Screening Scholarship Media Festival
March 2, 2014
March 2, 2014
With the proliferation of new
media technologies as well as the recent growth of digital humanities
centers, we have witnessed a number of debates that challenge
traditional modes of research and scholarship. For camra, participating
in these debates is imperative because they illuminate the heart of what
we do as scholars, media makers, and public intellectuals. We seek to
push the boundaries of research and media, developing new ways of
knowing through audiovisual forms of expression. We aim to create an
aesthetic sensibility that destabilizes previously held notions of what
differentiates art from scholarship. Thus, we ask the following
questions:
What are the
possibilities that advances in media offer for knowledge production?
What are the methods and strategies that media makers and academics
share in their work? What are the ways in which academics can and should
integrate rigorous media production in their research?
camra at Penn invites scholars, media-makers, students and educators to explore these questions at the Second Annual Screening Scholarship Media Festival on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. We welcome submissions that explore the relation between social theory, pedagogy, and aesthetics using images and sound in the form of film, soundscapes and recordings, blogs, websites, eBooks, animation, photographs, and other media forms.
