Abstract
The intersection of anthropology and education has an intellectual history that can be traced back to the socialization studies of early anthropologists. The evolution of the field can be viewed through three heuristics. Anthropology of education refers to theory building in anthropology; anthropology in education refers to theory building in education; and anthropology for education refers to the enactment of educational change.
