Ethnographic inquiry serves as a unique educational resource that is accessible to students andteachers of all economic and social classes and therefore well suited to building democraticcommunities in the 21st Century. This book is about teachers, students and parents in theRepublic of Kazakhstan who opened new educational directions and democratic possibilities forthemselves through a series of ethnographic studies about their local communities. By unfolding practical experiences of teachers and students with ethnographic study, this bookbuilds and expands understanding about education and democracy across five points of view:. Renewing professional development and building academic knowledge throughethnographic inquiry. Acquiring democratic living through ethnographic study of participatory, caringcitizenship. Connecting democratic ways of life with ethnographic study of identity formation in diversecommunities. Building knowledge about democratic perspectives through reflexive reading and writing about ethnographic inquiry. Building meaningful education at the intersections of ethnographic inquiry, literacy practices and theorizing about localcommunitiesThe authors propose that teacher and student-led ethnographic inquiries develop educational experiences that enrich educators'professional growth and provide innovative research opportunities for them and their students that generate up-to-date academicknowledge, which can be used to inform course offerings, design lessons and address state policy mandates. | Knowing What's Local by David Landis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
