Ask-Me-Almost-Anything (AMAA): Centering Student Engagement with Ethnographic Monographs

By
This article is part of the series:

“Why is this a book?” The student who volunteered this question during a class discussion could not have known how meaningful – and unsettling – I found the earnest query. Their curiosity, I think, stemmed from the observation that each of the chapters could have existed independently as articles. They were also interested in whether anthropologists typically embraced other formats …

Medical anthropology applied to education in socio-health professions: From the enchantment of technology to the enchantment of the encounter

By and
This article is part of the series:

“If you want to understand what a science is, you should look for the first instance not at its theories and its findings, and certainly not at what its apologists say about it, you should look  at what the practitioners of it do,” wrote Clifford Geertz (1973, p.311).

As we consider the role of justice in pedagogy and scholarship, I want to ask a simple but difficult question:

Bending the Odds: Pedagogy and Dialogue in Large Lecture Courses

By
This article is part of the series:

As academics in large public research universities, I am always amazed that when we speak of an ideal pedagogy, we speak about our small intimate seminars where we have the time and resources to experiment with 25 students or less. In my 13 years of teaching, I look forward to those settings when I get to teach one small undergraduate …
