This collection brings together articles first developed for the symposia on teaching held by the American Anthropological Association in 1990, 1991, and 1992, as well as additional papers from over 40 leading teachers in the field. The articles span the educational continuum, from teaching the introductory course to teaching pre-collegiate instructors. As a professional reference text, it is a book that no current—or future—teacher of anthropology should be without.
