Features: The "Series of Studies on Educational Anthropology" is an open-ended academic series that undertakes two main tasks: first, to systematically introduce and evaluate the theory and practice of foreign educational anthropology; second, to critically inherit the theories and methods of foreign educational anthropology, while accumulating and showcasing the new and significant research findings in Chinese indigenous educational anthropology, including theoretical insights and case studies. It advocates moving beyond the confines of the academic world, employing the theories, perspectives, and fieldwork methods of cultural anthropology to study both formal school education and informal education in communities and families in contemporary China. It places particular emphasis on the educational issues of marginalized groups in Chinese society, such as ethnic minorities, women, people with disabilities, and those from low social strata.
