ABSTRACT
Although no “educational anthropology” exists at present, and this conference is not aimed at its creation, the purpose of this overview is to survey the articulation of these two fields. Education is not listed in Anthropology Today (Kroeber, 1953) as a field of application for anthropology. There are only rare instances of self-conscious attention to the mutual relevance of these two fields in the various interdisciplinary symposia. Few professional anthropologists are required by the institutional definition of their positions to interact with professional educationists, and only a handful of joint appointments in education and anthropology exists in American colleges and universities.
