Call for Editor:
Anthropology & Education Quarterly

The Council on Anthropology and Education seeks to appoint a new editor of Anthropology & Education Quarterly, the leading journal in anthropology and education since 1969. AEQ is the journal of the Council on Anthropology and Education, published by the University of California Press for the American Anthropological Association. AEQ reaches over 1,400 subscribers, including 500 libraries worldwide.

AEQ publishes peer-reviewed research and review essays on schooling in social and cultural contexts and on human learning both inside and outside of schools. Articles rely primarily on ethnographic research to address immediate problems of practice as well as broad theoretical questions. AEQ also publishes on the teaching of anthropology. The editor plays a crucial role in shaping scholarship in the field and in encouraging the voices of new and under-represented scholars.
