WORKSHOP: 27 - 28 February 1998, Keele University

TEACHING ANTHROPOLOGY IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS

Anthropology is expanding as a subject as is evident from the increasing number of students entering mainstream departments. Such entry has been via, for instance, the International Baccalaureate and Access courses. The workshop will explore the pedagogic and policy issues arising from the transition from FE to HE. Anthropology is also being incorporated into a range of other degree programmes. The workshop will explore the issues arising from such trends for the teaching and learning of anthropology in mainstream and non-mainstream departments.
