Anthropology and education in a more-than-human world: "Reflections on a study of infant retrievals and the acquisition of social rank in baboon "nursery school
Drawing on a more-than-human world perspective for anthropology and education, I (re)examine a study of juvenile baboon social learning conducted almost 50 years ago. Major scientific disciplinary twists and turns over the decades are examined in order to (re)interpret specific affiliative behaviors, communicative events and public performances.

Ethnography with Love andDuende: The Promise of Ethnography in a Democratic Society (On Receiving The CAE 2016 George and Louise Spindler Award)
This article is a slightly edited version of my invited award talk, delivered just days after the presidential election, when I received the George and Louise Spindler Award at the annual business meeting of the Council on Anthropology and Education, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, November 2016.

Spelling 'Mississippi: Recontextualizing a Literacy-Related Speech Event
This article examines steps, a distinctive genre of black street rhyme, as a literacy-related speech event and as a social statement made by its performers. The analysis shows that despite the presence and demonstration of language and literacy competence, the performers never were seen as possessing such skills because displays of their school-required abilities were recontextualized in peer group activities that were considered part of black "s…
