  1. Educational anthropology

    Educational anthropology is a sub field of anthropology and is widely associated with the pioneering work of George Spindler . As the name would suggest, the focus of educational anthropology is obviously on education, although an anthropological approach to education tends to focus on the cultural aspects of education, including informal as well as formal education. As education involves understandings of who we are, it is not surprising that the single most recognized dictum of educational anthropology is that the field is centrally concerned with cultural transmission. ref Comitas, L. and Dolgin, J. 1979. On Anthropology and Education Retrospect and Prospect . Anthropology and Education Quarterly. 9 1 87 89 ref Cultural transmission involves the transfer of a sense of identity between generations, sometimes known as enculturation ref Page, J.S.

  1. Anthropology of development

    The anthropology of development is a term applied to a body of Anthropology anthropological work which tends to view development from a critical perspective. The kind of issues addressed, and implications for the approach typically adopted can be gleaned from a list questions posed by Gow 1996 . These questions involve anthropologists asking why, if a key development goal is to alleviate poverty, is poverty increasing? Why is there such a gap between plans and outcomes? Why are those working in development so willing to disregard history and the lessons it might offer? Why is development so externally driven rather than having an internal basis? In short why does so much planned development fail? This anthropology of development has been distinguished from Development anthropology development anthropology which is more concerned with anthropologists contributions to development projects and the like. ref Gow, David D. 1996 Review The Anthropology of Development Discourse, Agency, and Culture Reviewed work An Anthropological Critique of Development The Growth of Ignorance by Mark Hobart and Encountering Development The Making and Unmaking of the Third World by Arturo Escobar, Anthropological Quarterly Vol. 69, No. 3, Healing and the Body Politic Dilemmas of Doctoring in Ethnographic Fieldwork, Jul., pp. 165 173 ref ref Edelman, Marc, and Angelique Haugerud. 2005 .
