Syllabus
[|Syllabus: ITSF5016 - Ethnography of education (Fall 2012)]

Course description
This course explores educative processes in what have been known as “community” settings. We will question what we are to mean when we talk both about "education" and about "community" ethnographically--that is when we focus on the details of human practical action. The exploration proceeds through a review and critique of recent research and theorizing about education as collective practice within the strongly framed local settings of everyday life. We will focus on the problematics of "community" and "practice" as it relates to the problematics of education as a total process.

Various settings will be explored (villages, neighborhoods, families, peer groups, museums, as well as schools), in the United States and across the world.
