There is more to education than teaching and learning! Says Tim Ingold, a British Anthropologist, and now Emeritus Professor and the University of Aberdeen.
In his book "Anthropology and/as Education", Tim Ingold argues that both anthropology and education are ways of studying, and of leading life, with others.
Education, he contends, is not the transmission of authorised knowledge from one generation to the next but a way of attending to things, opening up paths of growth and discovery. What does this mean for the ways we think about study and the school, teaching and learning, and the freedoms they exemplify? And how does it bear on the practices of participation and observation, on ways of study in the field and in the school, on art and science, research and teaching, and the university?
