Anthropology education today is in a moment of transition. MA and PhD employment opportunities are changing, teachers and administrators are experimenting with new classroom formats and technologies, and educators are encountering new pedagogical standards and assessment models. The commentaries in this series consider the present and future of anthropology education as experienced by students and teachers in a variety of settings, from K-12 to university classrooms. They examine opportunities for and limits of flexibility in educational environments, and teaching strategies to engage introductory and advanced anthropology students alike.
