Same as EPS 425 and EPSY 466 This course examines how teaching and learning are conducted in diverse societies around the world. Readings include ethnographies of formal and informal learning contexts from outside and within the US, in urban and non-urban settings. We will examine both the field known as the ?anthropology of education?, as well as the ways in which researchers outside of this paradigm have investigated the intersections of culture and learning. Readings include Au, Bourdieu, Erickson, Heath, Holland, Levinson, Mead, McDermott, Miller, Ochs, Phillips, Rogoff, Rohlen, Schieffelin, Spindler, Tobin, Varenne, Weis, and Willis.
