The Anthropology of Education Policy: Ethnographic Inquiries into Policy as Sociocultural Process

Book Overview

Advancing a rapidly growing field of social science inquiry-the anthropology of policy-this volume extends and solidifies this body of work, focusing on education policy. Its goal is to examine timely issues in education policy from a critical anthropological, ethnographic, and comparative perspective, and through this to theorize new ways of understanding how policy "does its work"- how education policy processes create, reflect, and sometimes contest regimes of knowledge and power, sorting and stratifying people, ideas, and resources in particular ways.
