Calls for "deparochialization of educational research" (Lingard
2006) have directed educational ethnography from the conventional
research designs and from the study of single sites and local
situations to the study of "the circulation of cultural meanings,
objects and identities in diffuse time-spaces" (Marcus 1995: 96).
In response to this call and following the already established
tradition of use of meta-ethnography in health studies this volume
explores the potentials of this method (Noblit & Hare, 1988) to
unpick the interconnectedness of different educational sites which
have been and are being studied ethnographically. Besides,
metaethnographic analyses may also offer a credible response to the
lessening of opportunities for original educational ethnographic
research at times of limited resources. The volume examines the
forms of translocal and transtemporal ethnographic synthesis
currently in use by educational ethnographers as well as the
challenges and the possibilities that the method offers. It also
addresses and attempts to respond to the question if
meta-ethnography might be a means to sharpen ethnographers'
sensitivity for each other's work and achievements in the past.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
Ethnography and Education.
