Course Description
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to basic anthropological theories, concepts, and modes of analysis that may be useful in understanding the complex range of situations in which education occurs. The course will explore different forms of social, kinship, political, religious, and educational arrangements of populations living in various environmental contexts. Ethnographic examples will be drawn from different parts of the world, ranging from the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa to urban areas of the United States.

The course will consist of lectures and class presentations. The instructor will lecture for the first part of the course introducing the student to different theoretical formulations, basic concepts used within the social sciences, and their application.
