Series Editor: Professor Rodney Hopson, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, USA

Studies in Educational Ethnography presents original research monographs and edited volumes based on ethnographic perspectives, theories and methodologies. Such research will advance the development of theory, practice, policy and praxis for improving schooling and education in neighbourhood, community and global contexts.

In complex neighbourhood, community and global contexts, educational ethnographies should situate themselves beyond isolated classrooms or single sites and concern themselves with more than narrow methodological pursuits. Rather, the ethnographic research, perspectives and methodologies featured in this series extend our understandings of sociocultural educational phenomena and their global and local meanings.

Series Preface

The edited book by Lisa Russell, Ruth Barley and Jonathan Tummons, Ethics, ethnography, and education, presents timely and prescient contributions to topics for the novice and accomplished educational ethnographers who wrestle with questions of ethics. Within nine chapters, the ten contributors provide a landscape of challenges and complexities of shifting and responses to ethical dilemmas in the field taken from ethnographers working in the Basque Country, England, Scotland, India, Sweden and the Americas. Within the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the nature of fieldwork has changed for the many ethnographers and authors facing this reality. However, the book contributors also provide new ways of thinking and addressing issues related to data ownership, consent, participant representation(s), culture, dissemination of findings and working with unique country and community contexts and populations of study.

This book, volume 17 of the Studies in Educational Ethnography’s book series, returns readers to the UK and Europe where the series was founded by Prof. Geoffrey Walford some 15 years earlier. From Walford’s introduction to the series through this volume, the book series’ primary objective is to present original research monographs or edited volumes based on ethnographic perspectives, theories and methodologies. Such research will advance the development of theory, practice, policy and praxis for improving schooling and education in neighbourhood, community and global contexts. In complex neighbourhood, community and global contexts, educational ethnographies should situate themselves beyond isolated classrooms or single sites and concern themselves with more than narrow methodological pursuits. Russell, Barley, Tummons and colleagues provide a rich and nuanced perspective an everyday ethics in a changing world, illustrating the tensions ethnographers face in managing ethics, translating ethics in multiple sites of engagement, all while paying attention to the most vulnerable, marginalised and young.

The book series is located within the College of Education, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. Located in the Quantitative and Qualitative Methodology, Measurement, and Evaluation (QUERIES), Department of Educational Psychology, the College of Education is home to multiple traditions of research and evaluation scholarship in humanities and social sciences for decades. On the campus, the University annually hosts the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI), a venue for qualitative researchers who travel from around the world to the cornfields of Illinois each May.
