Anthropology and Education Research Guide

Welcome to the Anthropology and Education Program Research Guide!

This guide is intended to describe and provide access to resources and services in support of the Anthropology and Education program's objectives, to highlight "participatory ethnography: engaging in and observing human activities and conversing with people as a means of improving education and collaborating with local groups and organizations," and to offer "a unique outlook on how to understand and support diverse approaches to education in and outside the classroom.”
