Teaching Anthropology (TA) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute dedicated to the development of pedagogical theory and educational practice in Anthropology across schools, colleges, and higher education settings. The journal aims to inspire our community with new and emergent ways of working, as well as stimulate dialogue on the development of pedagogical theory, our shared practice, and educational values. We aim to achieve this by:
- Publishing peer reviewed articles that engage with and advance theory about pedagogy and education grounded in teaching practice and research.
- Building a community of practitioners that can share experiences of teaching and education through a variety of formats that explore practice in its non-theoretical dimensions.
- Support a diverse and global community of practitioners as we strive to cultivate inclusive principles in our pedagogy and academic practice.
Journal Issues
Teaching Anthropology publishes a general issue and special issue every year. All articles published in the general and special issue are peer reviewed.
The general issue includes:
- Original articles
Theoretically orientated articles that draw on wide ranging aspects of teaching, learning and pedagogy in Anthropology to advance theory about pedagogy and education. These articles should be grounded in teaching practice and research and engage with scholarship on education and pedagogy across different contexts of doing anthropology.
- Practice in Action
Practice based articles are shorter articles that share examples of teaching practice and other educational activities to support the development and expansion of pedagogical practice within our community. These submissions require less engagement with scholarship and theoretical ideas, but should still be structured to make it clear what learning is being shared from personal experience and professional practice that other educators might find useful.
- The Special Issue includes:
The special issue is a dedicated space for a collective of practitioners and / or scholars to explore a specific theme related to teaching, education and pedagogy. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for a special issue, please follow the link below to see instructions for authors.
