Educational anthropology is a sub field of anthropology and is widely associated with the pioneering work of George Spindler . As the name would suggest, the focus of educational anthropology is obviously on education, although an anthropological approach to education tends to focus on the cultural aspects of education, including informal as well as formal education. As education involves understandings of who we are, it is not surprising that the single most recognized dictum of educational anthropology is that the field is centrally concerned with cultural transmission. ref Comitas, L. and Dolgin, J. 1979.

Orphan date October 2008 The phrase semiotic anthropology was first used by Milton Singer 1978 . Singer s work brought together the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce and Roman Jakobson with theoretical streams that had long been flowing in and around the University of Chicago , where Singer taught. In the late 1970s, Michael Silverstein a young student of Jakobson s at Harvard University joined Singer in Chicago s Department of Anthropology. Since that time, anthropological work inspired by Peirce s semiotic have proliferated, in part as students of Singer and Silverstein have spread out across the country, developing semiotic anthropological agendas of their own.
