Abstract
On the basis of ethnographic research and curriculum development conducted in the Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit (WRERU) this article suggests ways in which ethnographic research can harmonise young Hindusâ and Sikhsâ experience of their faith tradition outside school with its presentation in school. Fieldworkâbased evidence of interaction between religious nurture and the encounter with their tradition in school is followed by an examination of dissonances and of the contribution of ethnographic research to understanding the issues that these raise. Finally, the contribution of the ethnographic process itself to the integration of young people's experience of their faith is examined. 1 An earlier version of this article was presented at the Sixth Nurnberger Forum, âInterreligiose Erziehung 2000: Die Zukunft der Religionsâ und Kulturbegegnungâ, in the Education Faculty of the Erlangen Nurnberg University, 29 Septemberââ1 October 1997.
