Cultural Dialogue and Schooling in Schoenhausen and Roseville: A Comparative Analysis (1987)

In “Roots Revisited: Three Decades of Perspective,” presented as the retiring president’s talk at the Council on Anthropology and Education meetings in 1983, four concerns were listed that were originally pronounced in the 1954 Stanford Education-Anthropology Conference (Spindler 1955, 1984). They are: (1) the search for a philosophical as well as theoretical articulation of education and anthropology; (2) the necessity for sociocultural contextualization of the educative process; (3) the relation of education to “culturally phrased” phases of the life cycle; and (4) the nature of intercultural understanding and learning.
