Living Life: Anthropology and Education

Education is more than teaching and learning, and anthropology is more than conducting studies on the lives of other people. Here, Tim Ingold proposes that both anthropology and education are ways of studying and of leading life, with others. This provocative book transcends the exploration of the interface between the disciplines of anthropology and education to assert their fundamental equivalence. Education, he argues, is not the transmission of authorized knowledge from generation to generation, but a way of paying attention to things, opening up pathways for development and discovery.
