| Oxford Ethnography and Education Conference
Monday 8th to Wednesday 10th September 2025
We look forward to a continuing stream of international discussion that focuses on educational contexts and issues through ethnographic approaches. The conference will be held again at New College Oxford and is planned as an entirely in-person event.
We always have a large representation from outside the UK and we hope this will continue. As many of you know, we publish a journal, Ethnography and Education, for which papers from the Oxford Ethnography Conference provide a rich resource.
Conference registration costs – not including accommodation – are as follows:
- Early Bird Registration – register and pay by Friday 16th May 2025.
Academic Staff – £385
PhD Students – £250
- Full Registration (from 17th May 2025 onwards)
Academic Staff – £435
PhD Students – £300
- A reduction of 1/3 applied to the full fees is available for academics and students from universities situated in the global south.
Academic Staff – £145
PhD students – £100
Fee concessions are available for delegates from universities based in the global south (for which we align with the BISA list of countries). Proof of institutional status will be required (e.g. email account). Please note that while the conference is able to provide invitation letters, we are not able to support with visa applications or travel arrangements which are the responsibility of the delegate.
The registration fee includes tea and coffee on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday. Breakfast will only be included if you book accommodation in New College. Accommodation at New College will appear on the conference booking website.
Please note: refunds are only at the discretion of the conference committee.
Conference Culture
We aim to create a positive and collegial atmosphere, and there will be ample opportunity for people to meet, talk and socialize. As in previous years, all papers will be circulated before the conference via the conference website, to enable sessions to focus on a discussion of the research findings, methods and wider issues attached to each paper. The number of papers will be limited in order to maintain a high degree of interaction in the sessions. Consequently, abstracts should provide clear evidence of a contribution to knowledge of the education sphere and details of ethnographic methodology.
