Popis: Around the world there are a number of approaches to the anthropological study of education, as well as allied approaches rooted in other disciplines like sociology. They share family resemblances, but also vary in the main foci of their studies. This article describes some of the approaches, citing the United States, Mexico, and the United Kingdom as examples. It explains why scholars sometimes fail to recognize the significance of one another’s work across national and also disciplinary boundaries, and points out benefits of mutual recognition when it is achieved.
