A companion to the anthropology of education
The anthropology of education sits at the crossroads of anthropology as a discipline, schooling as a professional field, and education as a perennial human endeavor. As anthropologists of education, we attempt to offer the insights and concepts of anthropology to educational theory and practice, and conversely, to enrich the discipline of anthropology by offering deep inquiry into educational processes.
The larger series of Companion volumes into which this volume fits is organized around named subfields or regional specializations of the discipline of anthropology, most of which correspond to a named section of the American Anthropological Association. The “anthropology of education” has been a self-conscious subdiscipline
since the 1950s (see McDermott and Raley (Chapter 3), Wolcott (Chapter 7), Schensul (Chapter 8)). At the same time, we remain anthropologists, of course, and “education” is hardly a mere subset of cultural practice. Educational processes pervade the everyday conduct of social life. Anything related to teaching and learning,
anywhere, at any age, “counts” as fair game for “anthropologists of education.”
