Fourth Conference on Anthropology and Education

The Anthropology Program is excited to announce our fourth conference on Anthropology and Education, Anthropology for Education. The conference will be hosted at Teachers College on October 20th and 21st, 2023.

The 4th Conference on Anthropology & Education considers how anthropological epistemologies/methodologies contribute to and expand research for education. We highlight ethnography, both as a tool for inquiry as well as a theory about gaining knowledge about people by following their/our lives and conditions closely and seeing what are rarely automatic, mechanically predictable responses. Presentations explore the value of anthropology and ethnography for educators and policy makers.

We look forward to welcoming our keynote speakers:

Susan D. Blum, Professor of Anthropology at The University of Notre Dame

Marjorie Elaine Faulstich Orellana, Professor of Urban Schooling at University of California, Los Angeles

Lalitha Vasudevan, Professor of Technology and Education at Teachers College Columbia University
