The primary objective of Studies in Educational Ethnography 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 neighborhood community and global contexts.In complex neighborhood 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 should extend our understandings of sociocultural educational phenomena and their global and local meanings. Studying classrooms and educational communities without concomitant understanding of the dynamics of broader structural forces renders ethnographic analyses potentially incomplete.
