The Anthropology of Learning in Childhood is hot of the presses, including my chapter, ‘Learning in schools‘. Here’s the publisher’s blurb: “This first major anthropological reference book on childhood learning considers the cultural aspects of learning in childhood from the points of view of psychologists, sociologists, educators, and anthropologists.”

Teaching Culture, Teaching Childhood
Next week I will be in Albuquerque for the American Anthropological Association Childhood Interest Group (AAACIG) joint meeting with The Society for Anthropological Sciences (SASci) and The Society for Cross-Cultural Research (SCCR). I am chair and discussant for the symposium ‘Teaching Culture, Teaching Childhood: Contours of the Anthropology of Childhood in Coursework Contexts’. The symposium was organized by Sally Campbell Galman, author of Shane the Lone Ethnographer, a beginner’s guide to ethnography.
