ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDIES OF EDUCATION
Anthropological Studies of Education Series editor Amy Stambach University of Wisconsin, Madison Madison, WI, USA
This series examines the political, ideological, and power-laden dimensions of education from an anthropological perspective. Books in this series look at how society is defined in relation to education. It delves into the kinds of communities that are imagined through educational policies, curricula, institutions, and programming. Many books in the series use ethnography to capture diverse educational positions and experiences. The series uses concepts such as social practice, myth-making, political organization, and economic exchange to address substantive issues pertaining to education in the moment and over time.
