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.

The anthropology of development is a term applied to a body of Anthropology anthropological work which tends to view development from a critical perspective. The kind of issues addressed, and implications for the approach typically adopted can be gleaned from a list questions posed by Gow 1996 . These questions involve anthropologists asking why, if a key development goal is to alleviate poverty, is poverty increasing? Why is there such a gap between plans and outcomes? Why are those working in development so willing to disregard history and the lessons it might offer? Why is development so externally driven rather than having an internal basis? In short why does so much planned development fail? This anthropology of development has been distinguished from Development anthropology development anthropology which is more concerned with anthropologists contributions to development projects and the like. ref Gow, David D. 1996 Review The Anthropology of Development Discourse, Agency, and Culture Reviewed work An Anthropological Critique of Development The Growth of Ignorance by Mark Hobart and Encountering Development The Making and Unmaking of the Third World by Arturo Escobar, Anthropological Quarterly Vol. 69, No. 3, Healing and the Body Politic Dilemmas of Doctoring in Ethnographic Fieldwork, Jul., pp. 165 173 ref ref Edelman, Marc, and Angelique Haugerud. 2005 .
