Abstract by Helena Kovacs for NAFOL 2018 conference in Hamar, Norway.
EDiTE graduate Josefine Wagner (University of Lower Silesia & University of Innsbruck) was one out of five early career scholars that received the 2019 Concha Delgado Gaitan Presidential Fellowship Award by the Council on Anthropology and Education (CAE). As a section of the American Anthropological Association, CAE met during the annual meeting conference in Vancouver, Canada from Nov. 20-24, 2019 to acknowledge the work of senior and junior colleagues, as well as recent dissertations and books. The early career presidential fellowship includes a travel stipend and a one-year mentoring opportunity with the council’s past president Thea Abu El-Haj whose work has been highly influential for Josefine’s doctoral research on inclusive policies and practices in Central European schools. With this mentoring opportunity, CAE intends to “give early career scholars a mentoring boost toward tenure and/ or professional success, and to cultivate the next generation of CAE leadership” (anthrosource.com).
At this year’s annual conference meeting of the American Anthropological Association, EDiTE supervisor Hana Cervinkova (Maynooth University; previously University of Lower Silesia) and her former doctoral student EDiTE researcher Josefine Wagner (University of Lower Silesia & University of Innsbruck) shared their Central European educational research in a multitude of formats from chairing a round table to presenting papers and receiving an award!
As a member of the Council on Anthropology and Education (CAE), a section of AAA, Hana Cervinkova chaired a highly engaging and critical panel that discussed the topic of Translation and Multilingual Publishing: Inequalities, Difficulties, Necessity? In the International Year of Indigenous Languages, this roundtable explored the role that anthropological publishing plays in the promotion or erosion of linguistic diversity world-wide, and in the potential deepening of anthropology’s global commitments. Among a wide range of highly acclaimed scholars, the roundtable included Jonathan Larson (University of Iowa), Michael Chibnik (University of Iowa), Francine Saillant (Laval University), Sylvia Caiuby Novaes (Universidade de Sao Paulo) and Ulf Hannerz (Stockholm University) who was also honoured for his lifetime achievements by colleagues and friends through a plethora of moving talks on World Watching. Discussants Martha Radice (Dalhousie University) and Virginia Dominguez (University of Illinois), former president of AAA, highlighted the tension of English-language hegemony in anthropology whereas the discipline claims to empower the diversity of cultures and phenomena it studies.
Together with Katherine Schultz (University of Colorado, Boulder), Thea Abu El-Haj (Barnard College), Jerald Isseks (Rutgers University) and Elzbieta Maria Drazkiewicz-Grodzicka (Maynooth University), Hana Cervinkova participated in the panel Interrogating educational policies and practices through frameworks of conflict, counter-democracy, and distrust: Families, educators, and youth engaging with policy across national settings (U.S., Poland, Lebanon, Ireland). As organizer and participant of the panel, Hana presented research from her ethnographic field work in Poland captured under the title: Struggling for Inclusive Imaginaries of Belonging. Policies and Practices of Educational Inclusion in Poland.
Josefine Wagner organized the panel Struggling for Justice Within the Inclusion Policy-Scape: Re-Thinking the Foundations, Contradictions, and Exclusions of “Inclusion” together with colleagues Deborah L. Michaels (Grinnell College), Monica E. Rodrigues (Ferris State University), Richard Senghas (Sonoma State University) and Erich Fox Tree (Wilfried Laurier University). She presented material from her German research site that comes out of a multi-sited school based ethnography of Central European schools in her paper titled Overcoming Predictable Outcomes: From Special and Foreigner Pedagogy to Inclusive Education.
Dr. Agnieszka Kossowska of Opole University, who was honoured with the title Ambassador of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities in 2017, visited the University of Innsbruck (UIBK) as guest lecturer from October 7-10, 2019.
During her doctoral work on inclusive education in Poland, former EDiTE researcher at ULS and currently postdoctoral assistant at UIBK, Josefine Wagner profited greatly from Agnieszka’s personal and professional insights into Polish education policy and practice. Together with disability studies professor Lisa Pfahl, Josefine invited Agnieszka to UIBK to lecture on the topic of Educational Justice for Children with a Special Educational Needs Status.
Also, Dipl.-Päd., Dipl.-Soz. Julia Biermann drew on Agnieszka’s expertise and invited her to speak on The Rights of Children and People with Disabilities in Poland and Europe. Furthermore, Agnieszka and Josefine visited EDiTE partner school VS Innere Stadt and principal Mag. Eva Nora Hosp to learn about transformative and inclusive teaching practice. Eva Nora has been an inspiring and courageous principal for over 15 years, who has built a faculty that is open to cross-national educational projects for the benefit of all children. Agnieszka who also founded the educational initiative FREE – Fundacja Rozwoju Edukacji Empatycznej (Foundation for Empathetic Education) which functions as a school for children with and without special needs enjoyed the hands-on examples of Montessori pedagogy in action at the VS Innere Stadt and is looking forward to building training and cooperation opportunities between Polish and Austrian teachers. Also students of both schools could engage in language and cultural projects via modern technology or exchange visits.
Lots of great ideas are in the making here and we hope to continue to draw from the ties EDiTE has fostered!
Key words: UN-CRPD; Inclusion; school partnerships; disability studies

We are happy to announce that the EDiTE Final Book in the Open Access Format has been published.
This edited volume is a result of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network project “European Doctorate in Teacher Education”, supported by the European Union’s flagship initiative Horizon 2020. Based on the transnational collaboration of five partner universities, namely Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) Budapest, University of Lower Silesia (ULS), University of Lisbon (ULisboa), University of Innsbruck (UIBK) and Masaryk University (MU), EDiTE formed an innovative network for the academic professional development of emerging researchers through the exchange of knowledge across conventional boundaries.
In this volume you will find individually written chapters by the EDiTE researchers that reflect the research results from the European comparative perspective and joint programme experience.
PART I of the volume introduces the project consortium, researchers (Early Stage Researchers and Self-Funded Researches) and their way to become independent scholars.
In PART II Researching Policy and Practice the authorship was given to the researchers who over the course of three years carried on transnational research concerning the common understanding of EDiTE research theme – Transformative Teacher Learning for Better Student Learning in an Emerging European Context.
