Social Movement Knowledge and Anthropology of Education
Although social movements are frequently background and occasionally foreground in the studies of anthropologists of education, theknowledgesproduced by movements have seldom been a focus of our work. In this Reflection on the Field, I argue that investigating the production and circulation of social movement knowledges, as contextualized by educational processes and spaces, can enrich our understanding of the roles of education and movements in …
Refugee Children’s Adaptation to American Early Childhood Classrooms
Researchers have suggested that a paucity of research exists on refugee youth in early child hood education settings. Arguing that children’s stories provide educators a valuable resource for understanding the meaning children make of initial cross - cultural experiences, this article presents a narrative inquiry into the stories and artwork of three early childhood students, along with the narratives of their families, all Karen refugees from My…

Yet, numerous professional educational movements have been wrought from social critique or, at the very least, from critique of school practices that fail to contribute to more equitable social outcomes. Featuring…

Council on Anthropology and Education
Democratizing Conversations
Drawn from a qualitative study of students' experiences of race and race relations at a post-desegregated middle school, this article describes two distinctive kinds of conversations about race in a multiracial context. In the first type of discussion, which we refer to as "bridging talk," students used multiple strategies to build unity across differences. In the second type, students discursively created borders and conflict. We see promises an…
