Learning and education are fundamental to human experience – yet they have often been side-lined in anthropological inquiry. Educating Otherwise brings these questions to the centre, exploring what anthropology can reveal about how people learn, and what learning reveals about anthropology itself. Spanning formats ranging from short essays to ethnographic fiction, the volume is organised around five themes: anthropology as education, decolonising the academy?, student-academic collaborations, anthropology and the university, and anthropology across disciplines. Together, these examine how anthropological education can perpetuate exclusion and privilege while also offering vivid, grounded accounts of more regenerative ways of teaching and learning.
“Rich and diverse…this book is an important and innovative contribution to debates in, and about, anthropology as education.” • David Mills, University of Oxford
Sarah Winkler-Reid is a Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at Newcastle University.
