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.
