The course examines how anthropological questions on cultural diversity and the method of participant observation are applied in the study of education and school. Education refers to multiform phenomena (eg learning, teaching, knowledge, sociability, language, identities and subjectivity). At the same time the anthropological interest itself on education and schooling has multiple origins and links to other social sciences (eg. questions about the constuction of collective identity through education and schooling). The course develops topics such as the relationship between education and modernity, the role of education and school in rural micro-societies and in urban spaces with focus on specific ethnographic cases, education in relation to ethnocultural minorities or migrant and refugee populations, the production of sociality in formal school and in informal educational activities.
In addition to theoretical texts and ethnographies, the lesson will be based on the screening and discussion of fiction films and documentaries focusing on the relationship with education, on individual and collective experiences of education and schooling, and on interactions in educational contexts.
