Abstract

ROBIN, Wayne J.. Un paseo por la antropología educativa. Nueva antropol [online]. 2003, vol.19, n.62, pp.11-28. ISSN 0185-0636.

The article is a brief historical summary of the development of the Anthropology of Education, principally in the United States, with a short reflection on the limitations of the sub-discipline as practiced in Mexico. The term "education" has many meanings and there are many different spaces where an individual educates himself or herself, although today the institutional space called "the school" is considered the principal one. The article covers many of the contemporary themes in the Anthropology of Education showing their historical antecedents. At the same time it points out the resurgence of interest in the ethnography of the school in educational studies.
