> > ethnographers of education are forcefully challenged to define and defend
> > ethnographic and qualitative research approaches to understanding
>educational
> > effectiveness. Issues of evidence, truth, credibility, and
>generalizability
> > are at the fore in ways reminiscent of the educational research climate
>which
> > gave birth to the Forum 25 years ago. In this year's Forum, we seek to
> > celebrate the accomplishments of educational ethnography over the past
>quarter
> > century while simultaneously charting our course to meet the challenges of
