The principal aims were to connect researchers, educators, and students who share an interest in teaching practices worldwide, and\/or how anthropology is taught and applied in educational contexts.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission focuses on both the anthropology of education (examining educational practices and institutions through an anthropological lens) and anthropology in education (integrating anthropological concepts and methods into educational curricula). It also welcomes members whose work and research touch upon education and pedagogy in other ways, such as those who are engaged in raising awareness in public settings and the community at large, and those who teach anthropological perspectives through other subjects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>THE COMMISSION&#8217;S ACTIVITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sharing experiences and strategies for incorporating anthropology into pre-university education.<\/li>\n<li>Comparing the teaching and learning of anthropology across different educational settings, such as schools, colleges, universities, adult education centers, and extracurricular activities.<\/li>\n<li>Facilitating the exchange of research and ideas among members whose work involves educational topics.<\/li>\n<li>Engaging new audiences in connection with the WCAA Task Force on Anthropological Education and New Audiences as part of the World Anthropological Union.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>THE COMMISSION LEADERSHIP AND TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CHAIR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Giovanna Guslini, Formerly of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, Italy<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEPUTY CHAIR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marzia Balzani, New York University Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE)<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yashmine Tabasoom, Pondicherry University, India<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOCIAL MEDIA INTERN:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bhumika Raj Sonwane, Pt.
